Bummer. 160mm rotor rear might be overkill for most though. It's what I have on my monster trail bike with Hope Tech X2s.
Howard-
Yes they might be, they insisted that Shimano told them 140 would be enough and I assume that for "normal" people it could be... but not if the rider+bike+extras are about 100kg or more :(, and the road descents are as steep as they can get (like @hippy with full equipment for the TransAm)

Yep, with some Giant wheels from my girl's Avail and unbranded rotors, but @TurtleRecall was the first to notice the problem in his own Kinesis with DT swiss r24db and shimano rotors after finding some heavy rubbing in the inside of the chainstay. So 3 wheelsets and rotors combinations. I tend to think that its a bad production batch... but still no official response.
