Yes and do it. After 10 years of killing myself working, I dusted off my old bike decided to blow off some steam. Suddenly, carbon forks were on every bike on our training ride. Talked with some of the guys and they swear by them so I install a Time fork. It made a big difference in the way the bike absorbed small bumps or worn out chipsealed roads. Is the Gilour 1" or 1 1/8" headset? 1" carbon steertube forks are extremely difficult to find especially ones that will fit your large bike. Last I looked about 10 years ago, Tom Ritchey still sold them. Not sure about now? 1 1/8" are plentiful.
