I have a Spesh Secteur that has Carbon forks with the little zertz insert bits?

Just how strong will these forks or and carbon forks be?

Im quite heavy and did my first proper road ride on friday and as the roads are so bad around here I was worried about the strength of the fork.

What do you think?

Well giant list weight limits on theirs and they are big, wheel will probably get eaten by the pot hole first

I'm no lightweight and have been riding a Roubaix with those zertz inserts for years. Even done the occasional rough off-road lane on it without issue.
