You still need slack regardless of all things. I simply prefer how high the cables ride and pull the chain up. Some setups have the WDH bars pretty low and the chains even lower...this would help a lot.

In fact, those links are the ones Hensley shipped with their chain extension.
Thanks for the concern though.
