I queried the lifespan of a Wound Up with Wound Up and got the following answer:
Thanks for the inquiry. Wound Up forks withstand fatigue heroically, and should last much longer than steel, aluminum or titanium forks. Because of their unique filament-wound construction, they should also outlast other carbon forks. While exact lifespans are specific to a given rider and her or his riding habits, we usually see our forks lasting for more than a decade with fairly heavy use. However, we recommend that your fork be replaced after ten years and being that it is used, this would be highly recommended. We do offer a courtesy replacement program for a new fork if interested. The price ranges from 30-40% off retail.
Am heavily considering this as I have slight fear in the back of my head of fork failure which is quite scary. I also enjoyed their use of heroically.
