CF hasn't been in use on bicycles long enough to properly determine a life span and so far it's shown to be a good material in spite of some very early negative predictions. Time CF forks were well regarded at the time, BTW.
Unless I find some damage to my CF forks from that era, and that damage is spreading, I'm not going to fret over them.
