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.

But all your weight goes forward during braking, its much harder to lock a front than a rear.
I can lock my rear wheel with shitty tektro long reach brakes but my front only locks for mad brown pants moments in the wet

So? If the wheel locks, you're skidding.
If you skid the front, you're crashing.
If it's more likely that a larger disc locks the wheel, why would they use 160 front and 140 rear?
I think it's a clearance thing.

Anyway, I now have 160/160 installed.
