57cm Kinesis 4S Disc - can I run 160mm rotor on the back? Basically it appears to fit so I don't know why Kinesis say "NOTE: It is best recommended that you run a 140mm rear rotor."

Is that just because smaller frames have fit issues?

Isn't that just the usual advice for road bikes, to avoid locking up the rear wheel?

Obvs not normally loaded with bike packing kit and 200kg of prime Aussie beef.

That doesn't make sense. If locking up was an issue they wouldn't leave the 160 on the front would they? The only thing I can find is clearance issues with people using post-mount Spyre calipers.
