    Hi folks,

    Does anyone have experience taking gels on foreign cycle trips?? I’m taking some for one in Majorca, and was planning on putting them in the bike box, until it occurred the pressure difference might make them explode, so wanted a little advice

    I’ve not had a problem the 2 times I’ve done it. If you’re worried, I put mine inside my empty water bottles so if they do burst it contains the mess. (Also uses up space that would otherwise be useless).
