Usually they come long into a ride- at the 40 to 50 mile point. I recently did a 70 mile ride crossing 5 passes (gaps) in North Georgia. I took 3 endurolytes at the beginning and three each hour or so for the whole ride, plus some- about 24 total. I also took about a dozen Tums. I was cramp-free which was the goal. And I also felt pretty good and did a short (26 mile) fast ride the next evening. They worked for me! I have serious cramp issues I’ve been fighting for years.

So while virtually everyone I know likes Endurolytes, it's entirely possible that they won't help you with cramps. When I get cramps these days it's usually because I'm pushing myself too hard in a race for the amount of training I've done. Endurolytes don't help me with that, but they do seem to help during certain situations, such as training on extra hot days. @JR

I wonder if they simply don't work, or if my calfs are just not electrolyte-related? Either way, waste of money for me.
