your probably better off getting the gold labels. I've seen so many broken RST's...

If your a ham fisted oaf who cannot put the right torque on bolts. the need to be finger tight on the 20mm or they will snap..
sorry, if they snap there its your fault not Manitous.
And, theres so many sets of Rockshox forks that snap at the arches pike and boxxers for example, it's not unique the manitou.

I would go for the GLs. The spaces do look good, but GLs are proven forks.

Manipoo's any day with RST's they prove undoubtedly ya cant polish a turd. Think it's fair to sayy you'll get 100% for the gold labels

I say give the RSTs a go, they've gotten a lot better at making forks over the years, and if you can get it dirt cheap, why not give it a chance. I personally don't like manitou all that much, unless you want to rebuild the thing every season...

the goldlabels are probabbly the most reliable fork manitou make so just get the goldlabel Big Grin
