hi,
I have a couple of years experience with with carbon fork.It's a winwood on a cannondale touring frame,which has a carbon seatpost too,fsa.My last configuration featured 32 top touring tyres wich did fantastic on gravel roads.A couple of months ago I arrived from a 1050 km trip from Cusco to Arica,with altitudes up to 4400 mts,temperatures under 15 c.and 400kms of unpaved roads!Both components did superbly!This frame was never so confortable and the bike performed perfectly.With a blackburn expedition rack and back panniers only,loaded with 15/20 kilos depending on food and water.Self sustained with tent and sleeping bag.With 15 k is perhaps the limit for light touring.Any way...I don't know If I would use this fork for a world tour.But so far it is a great feature on my touring bike.36 spoke rims and suited tyres are essential for good handling,stability,confort and durability.
