I posted earlier, but not sure if you saw it.
Is sram ok with 140mm brake rotors on the front for road use?
As far as I know. They didn't object to my wanting to do it in any way. The 160mm on the front is more, as I understand it, the UCI wanting a set size for consistency with regards to neutral support wheels.
I have a couple 160mm rotors and were I to race on a hilly course, I'd probably put it on. With that said, I live in a pretty hilly area and have never felt I needed more than 140s. I'm getting a Podium Disc - so I can have disc brakes on my road bike for consistency - and will try a 160mm on the front with that to see if I like it better.
Triathlon rarely has the really long descents that you can see with road races, which is why I decided to go with 140 from the outset.
