thanks for that. interesting. unsure what to do. don't fancy buying loads of different discs, as they don't hold much value second hand. i would like to blame the gappyness of the rotors for the slightly underwhelming stopping power

Are they they Shimano rotors? If not, FFS, get the Shimano rotors!

I was worried, a lot, while building the bike, even more when the Kinesis 4S Disc frameset that was announced to be 160 compatible at the rear... came out to be a lie / design fail... But even with mech calipers its ok, haven't crashed yet :D. I use TRP normal discs, but got a 140 + 160mm rotors with dissipation for free and tried them with nice results http://www.reverse-components.com/en/products/discrotor-aircon-%C3%B8140mm

If you couldn't lock the back wheel, I reckon a rebleed is in the card, as it should feel very sharp and immediate.

16,64stones here (had to google it to be able to understand how many stones you need to express 106kg of weight). And going down 10-15% descents, (and up) with a ~90kg rider + 16kg of bike and equipment. Front 160 for sure, but back... 140 is more than enough (with mech disc brakes), even under snow and wet conditions north-alike... but technique is also important. In the pictures, there is no water (2liters ~ 2kgs) or food in the bike... shoes and helmet count too
