Ride the bike, enjoy the bike, replace the minimal amount of stuff and save that money towards the bike you want or at least a bike that makes more sense for your riding. You will be much happier in the end.
Please, it's a $20 upgrade. If you're doing it right the 3 craft beers consumed while installing and adjusting it will cost that much.
