Sure just do it. You are running a front brake after all, so there's a redundancy if a joint should crack/fail.
Seriously that is said in all satire.
Don't "just do it". Be smart and get some experience/practice before you change a bike to be ridden in a manor that's of no return. Then do it. But not "just".
Why am I so focused on that word? Because it implies so little preparation or planning. So I say "do it but verify" (And that's a take on a Ronald Regan quote). Andy
