Carbon touring?

So let's discuss how to successfully do carbon bicycle stuff in a touring environment.
This is strictly a pro-carbon thread. (Anti is a different thread.)

What this thread is NOT about:
If you think carbon assplodes, please stay out.
This is not about your opinion of the superior qualities of steel.
It's not about your budget, or anyone else's. travel expense vs/ carbon.
If you have any other negative attitude about carbon please stay out.

It IS about :
Carbon forks with eyelets for front racks and/or fenders.
rear eyelets for rear racks and/or fenders
Carbon bits and pieces, cranks, wheels, hubs, etc.
Frame builders
Durability
Clamping onto carbon
Electronic shifting to make a carbon triple work well.
Anything else to make carbon work in a touring environment.

Please keep any negative opinions to yourself. Or use the "I hate carbon" thread.
Let's be peaceful !!
