Which do you prefer and why? I like both products but I have to admit I am going back to GU and Roktane. I read something here about a month or so ago decided to give Hammer a try again and now I'm giving it up again for the same reason I have in the past. Hammer tastes great and works as advertised and for me it all comes down to having to use the flask. Even the flask is not that big of deal carrying and using it, it' the keeping it clean that seems to be impossible. While the flask themselves are relatively cheap it's just another added cost and cleaning I personally don't want to deal with.
It's also a lot easier to throw 5 or 6 GU's in my jersey on a nice long century and the amount I intake is a lot more constant that way too. Most places I stop to refuel have some sort of trash container and every century at the feed stops have them so disposal is not an issue and if it was I would just keep it my jersey until I could dispose of it properly anyway.
What's you take on this? I'm sure this topic may be way over done but hey, it was what was on my mind this morning!
