How many of y'all are running without the top front engine mount on your rigid evo?

The one that bolts between the front head and the downtubes.

This one:


I haven't ran mine for the past 15,000 miles without any effects that I noticed, but I never had it on there to compare "before".

I’ve had friends do it. I didn’t alter that part of my frame so I figured I might as well run it.
None of the folks I’ve known that did it had any issues. I feel like 15K would be enough time for any problems to present themselves.

I havent had one for about 12,000 miles. Seems unnecessary.
