carbon forks w/ carbon steerer tubes

[free_rideman]

I actually have a Ouzo Pro full carbon fork on my bike, and love it a lot. Can't imagine it breaking. (I am anal about taking care of my bike)

But since he is my friend, I want to have a peace of mind that I helped him build a bike that won't fail him during a speedy downhill. Plus it just looks so cool, the Wound Up fork. (I hope they have different rakes?!)

Just if anyone cares to know the bike that will be built up-

-Gunnar Roadie (custom paint job) (yellow, black, red)
-Wound Up fork
-Thomson Elite seatpost and X2 stem +shim for 1" fork (black)
-DT swiss RR 1.1 rims, speedcific hubs, wheelsmith spokes
-Campy Veloce shifters
-Ultegra rear derailleur
-sram 9 speed cassette and chain
-FSA gossamer compact MegaExo
-speedplay pedals
-Chris King devo headset
-Bontrager Race Lite bars w/ VARIABLE RADIUS bend
-Specialized Toupe saddle
-105 brakes w/ salmon kool stop pads
-C-16 front derailleur

The point is, between a cromo and alu steerer with all else equal, my money is on the cromo to outlast the alu.

Mine too, but barring a crash the likelyhood of either ever breaking is close to zero.
