Thanks. I need to get other opinions sometime to make sure I am not losing my mind. I am getting up there in years I would like a bike I can do 50+ miles on hard packed gravel rail trails. I was thinking of getting another wheelset and switching them out on my road bike. If I get another wheelset(my Lemond Etape has quick releases on the wheels so it may not be an issue since I need to drive to get to the longer trails) my only concern would be the carbon fork. Would the vibration or bouncing on a rail trail compromise it? Make it weak and then it catastrophically fail on a road ride while descending down a mountain at 35-40mph?
