I don't plan on getting hit by cars often but I often drop sidewalks and the road in quebec are in very bad condition even downtown. They are full of waht we call ''nid de poule'' http://nouvelles.autonet.ca/FR/Nouve...s_de_poule.jpg

Would you still suggest carbon instead of steel?
For ****s sake. If you're not a weight weenie, just get a steel fork. Why would anyone voluntarily add a cheap plastic fork on their bike? The only advantage carbon has over steel is weight savings.
