I also run a 180/160 combination and have done as long as I’ve ever had disc brakes. Interestingly, when I first opted for a 180 front rotor a lot of my riding mates told me it was overkill – 160/140 was the norm for XC then – but I reasoned that for a few grammes extra I’d rather have more powerful brakes. This combination seems almost to be the industry standard now though.
I use my bike for both XC riding/racing and commuting (with a set of 700C wheels on disc hubs) and I’ve never felt the front to be ‘overbraked’. At the end of the day, I’d rather have lots of power and only have to pull the lever lightly, than to be squeezing the lever hard but still wanting more braking power.
