As Rapha is closing stores across the world, MAAP has just opened a ‘concept store’ in central London.
With that in mind, Simon and Warren are back for another episode of the BikeRadar podcast to discuss whether MAAP is the ‘new Rapha’, or if it can build something more sustainable like ASSOS or Castelli.
Following that, the two discuss Warren’s soon-to-be-published review of Shimano’s GRX Di2 electronic gravel groupset – and what they’d like to see improved in a future version.
Then in ‘news in brief’, they discuss the City of London Police’s innovative ‘sin bin’ for red light-jumping cyclists, Hunt’s new super-wide gravel wheels and DT Swiss’s new gravel suspension fork – and whether gravel suspension has become irrelevant thanks to bikes with increasingly wide tyre clearance.
