I sense it is for the professionals who change frames quite often. Am I completely mistaken?
I have two bike with Easton EC90SLX forks, Easton's lightest carbon fork and most likely their least durable. Both are about 10 years old and one has 36,000+ miles and the other 33,000+ miles, all on mediocre, pothole infested roads. Recent inspections (I had to replace the headset on one bike) showed no defects or problems whatsoever.
So if they are easily damaged and don't age well, you can't prove it by me. Frankly, you have been misinformed.
