My aluminum fork felt great down to 28mm tires - certainly far smoother than the no-name carbon fork with 23mm tires on my road bike. The aluminum fork is pretty flexy and the chatter with cantilever brakes (using a headset mounted cable hanger) was substantial.

Also, the aluminum fork is currently installed on its third frame - one road touring frame broke after ~5000 km of abusive riding and one hybrid frame was retired after ~2000 km because of a less-than-optimal fit. The fork has seen around 10,000 kms of hard riding and is still going strong.
