I concur 100%. A local cyclist died this year when his CF fork failed abruptly. OK, he LBS did warn him about a small crack they had seen, but they evidently had not felt strongly enough about it to caution him against using the bike. The point is that I have never heard of a steel fork failing in this manner. (Of course, the Viscount fork-of-death is an entirely different story ... .)
