PhilDAS-
Well, I've got a 160 on the back now. I just hope it doesn't interfere with anything, like wheel removal.

I should note that Kinesis included 160mm front and 160mm rear flatmount to post mount adapters in the box with my frame and @bertocq's as well. I went out and bought a 140mm adapter whilst berto sweet-talked them into sending him one for free. Guess we were both 'early adopters', I don't know what they provide in the box now.

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.
