Out little beer bet Challenge has ebbed and flowed over the years. This year it’s got a record flow.

Footwear companies are famous for wrecking a good shoe. In this case, a good shoe keeps getting better.
Odd editions (Bondi 3, 5) are fails. Even editions (2, 4) are wins. Does the Bondi 6 follow the pattern?
The Stealth Bomber immediately came to mind when age grouper Vilen Rodeski shared images of his tricked out Diamondback Andean in our forum a few weeks back.
I’ve always felt the Andean is a pro tri bike you must consider. But not with its original stem. In 4 weeks the new stem lands.
HOKA’s sweet spot, for road runners and triathletes, lies between the Clifton and the original Bondi B. Does the Elevon continue that tradition?
The HOKA One One Bondi 5 is a really nice shoe. But it’s not the shoe I fell in love with, and that I wrote about so exuberantly 7 years ago today.
Memo to triathletes: Saucony makes more than the Kinvara. If HOKA is a great idea but a bridge too far for you, consider this shoe.
Canyon’s hotly anticipated $2,499 tri bike gets the Slowtwitch treatment.
If you choose a PRthree or P2 it’s because spec and price won out. If you buy an IA16 it’s because of the unique qualities of the frame.
In 2008 Chrissie Wellington won the Hawaiian Ironman, with the second fastest bike split of the day. On a P2. ‘nuf said.
Let’s go through this bike, the frameset and then all the parts, and tally up all the “fails”.
