Say no to gold labels. They feel like absolute poo.

You could save a bunch of weight, get way more adjustability, and a better feeling fork by going with a Pike. As for a front wheel, 729's are where it's at.

(I have ridden both Pike's and Gold Labels' pretty extensively.)

i agree with the pike idea. and if its a 3 in fork you seek, you can actually replace the springs in a pike with those of a RS recon and your fork will get between 80mm and 120mm.
