I eat a lot when I ride (>100g / hour)
but, I’m not really close to the right ratios of the different carbs I see talked about in other threads.
Does this matter?
What’s the benefit of going from something like 0.5:1 to swapping to the 1:1 - 1: 0.8 ratios ?
Is it the amount of carbs matters most, and if your gut can handle it, get them however you can?
If carb consumption is low enough to consume it, doesn’t matter. But the ceiling is higher for 1:1. With 100g/hr, you might already be around the limit (possibly even a bit over) for 0.5:1.
I already consume a lot, and I like my mix.
But wondering if there’s any advantage to keeping same total carbs and adjusting ratios.
I doubt I can consume many more total carbs - I’m typically 130-150g/hour
Total carb intake matters more than glucose:fructose ratio, by a lot. The glucose:fructose ratio optimization problem is imperative for most folks to get anywhere near your carb intake rates. If I were you, I wouldn’t change a thing.
That’s what I suspected
Thank you

Just attaching my name to this worthwhile advice! 
There’s not much special* about carb ratios beyond the fact that it can push up an upper ceiling for carb intake / oxidation.
If you are not having any issues with absorption (GI Distress, Bloating, etc) then you’re likely fine.
*There may be nuances- but they likely matter less in the overall scheme. E.g. fructose results in more metabolic thermogenesis than glucose.
