Ok, so I just pick the coolest looking rotor, I can do that.
But I have an issue...
My frame is a kinesis 4S and now I'm way to far into the build, I find it can't quite fit a 160 rotor on the back. It just scrapes the lump caused by the weld where the chain stay meets the drop out.
But... on forum advice, I bought Juin Tech F1 brakes that you are only meant to use with 160 rotors.
Is it possible to just use Juin Techs with a 140 rotor? My logic says that they are designed for a 160 so the pads won't line up with a smaller rotor and there is no way to step them down. That then leads to filing down the frame slightly, or using HY/RD which is a little annoying and more expensive.
Thoughts?
