Can anyone give me an idea of how long past their use by date cycling gels are still good to use? I did a web search, but found nothing useful.

The oldest use-by dates are May last year.I had one last week which was nearly 4 weeks out of date- I'm fine, that's about as scientific as it gets!
How far past are the ones you've found in the back of your drawer?
It says "best before...", so I think I might keep them. Although, if I get a chance before our Audax Alpine Classic (the ride for which I bought them), I'll buy replacements.Is it "best before" or "use by"? If the former they'll be fine, if the latter then bin 'em. Although I think they're probably not going to do you any harm.
Take one at home and see, if you get the shoots, at least you will be near the toilet and will know for sure!
I can't see how they would 'go off' - Ive got some which are three or four years old and I'm planning to use them at some stage.

As always, thanks for the feedback, fellow CC people.
