Also remember that all batteries have an "at rest" voltage but it is not the same under load. So it is a false assumption that all is fine just because all you cells are 3.23v when you are checking them "at rest". I am not saying that this is a bad thing but don't be fooled into thinking the cell monitor while riding is not worth having.
EDIT...nevermind. Definitely avoid going below 2.5v even with voltage sag. There is still a lot not known about lifepo4 but to be on the safe side avoid any sag below 2.5v.
