I do not ride nearly as much as when I was racing Elite but I am basicly putting basic miles than most 'recreational' riders are putting. I have had an original AME fork (Not the True Temper) for about 3 years now. Been on 2 bikes and I am sure I will get many more years out of it.
Carbon forks shouls last many years of not crashed.
