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.

So all of what I just said. Its a clearance issue that means you can't run a 160 on the back yes, but its still pointless. Its not a design fault, 140 is all you need on the rear coz reasons. @danb explains better than I
