argyles are good but more of a fad but u can also convert to air once you save up.the gold labels feel real good nice and light but they break and i've heard many incident s of gold labels breaking snaping etc. i heard the on the 08s they made it much stronger but heavier

argyles only come in 20mm thru axel, i dont know where your getting your facts from but their wrong. And its basically impossible to find a new 07 gold label unless some random shop has one hidden in their back room, they stopped making them halfway through the year to get ready for their 08's

well you can get black argyles and they have a 20 mm axle so your problem is solved and everyone breaks gold labels

lol yeah they all come with 20mm through axle. and go for the argyles. i got 318s, they felt a bit soft and i wanted them lower so i got spacers put in so its at 80mm and thicker oil so its stiff. it is sweet now

No, the argyle comes with a maxle. You should have no problem running any 20mm hub with it.

I dont understand what your problem is?

comes down to if you want a lighter fork. the argyle is heaverier but not by much. maybe .7 of a pound. but trhe argyle has more adjustment.

i only recommend a goldlabel if you're a very clean rider who never breaks parts

it's exactly the same fork as the stance on the outside, they only changed the inside of the fork


but i prefer argyle Big Grin it's strong, light, feels great, looks good, good settings.......
