Yeah I'm worried about the fork failing as I know a few other have had the problem. Especially when the
Roads get rougher. I can always switch to a surley

Yup, a surly fork should be obtainable in America, as you're not racing, only lose a couples days of riding should it failed!

On mine what happened was the eyeless above the dropouts pulled out of the fork. The design is flawed because the eyelets have a lip but it's on the outside so doesn't prevent them pulling out. A good idea would be to procure longer bolts, a couple of nuts and some washers and bolt all the way through the eyelets and put a washed and nut on the back to sandwich the eyelet in the fork. Hope this makes sense.

Sound like an amazing trip, keep an eyes on the fork/low rider mount thought.
