Seeing as how it was incorrectly installed, and removing it only gained me maaaaybe 1/4" in height, I think so. Really, the only thing I adjusted was the triple tree position on the front forks, and now the bike rides as upright as you all have been bragging about- I have been in a more aggressive posture than I realized.Do you plan on selling the link?
When I first sat on it after the removal I was like "WTF? this is the exact same height!" but then I rode it and I felt like I was sitting in a La-Z-Boy.
Maybe now I will decide I don't need higher handlebars, which could save some cash.
Any ideas what a fair asking price for a used lowering link would be? Something win-win?
