I guess I am just plain crazy then. I set up the bike I used to do the Southern Tier with a carbon fork. It was a rebuilt 1990-ish Cannondale crit bike that had a broken aluminum fork. It worked out great. Granted it was for ultralight touring with a 14 pound base gear weight (camping and cooking with mostly UL backpacking stuff), but it would also work fine with a heavier, but still fairly light load. I found the bike to be a delight to ride on that tour.
