Great, to be honest these were the kind of replies I was hoping for.
This feeling I had about carbon forks was recently exacerbated when I saw a Facebook ad from Temple Cycles for one of their bikes, when a customer asked why no carbon fork option they replied saying that they didn’t offer carbon forks due to long term safety concerns.

I’m not suggesting that a carbon frame would interact differently with carbon forks. I just thought I should mention the fact I’m riding steel to try and paint the picture that I’m on a bike usually seen to be more rugged. I certainly don’t expect to throw out parts needlessly every few years either.

Should I be concerned about running them year after year on a steel bike which has been well used (and loved) for commuting, long rides etc.
I keep reading/hearing anecdotal advice suggesting they are basically a time bomb ready to go off and fail catastrophically with little or no warning.
Do others set a limit in their minds on when it might be a good idea to replace their forks as you would a wheelset etc. I’m interested to know opinions on this.
