Is there any reason if I buy two Juicy Carbon rear brakes that I couldn't shorten one hose and use it as front? Are the levers ambidextrous [if that's the right word...]?
Any other pitfalls...
Cheers,

You'll need a different adapter or disk. A 160mm on the back would be a 180mm on the front.
Cheers - really useful. Is that because of the caliper or the adaptor?
Calipers and levers are identical.
Nice one - that's all I need to know.
Thanks to you both:-)
The levers come MOTO style anyway so the rear will be the right way round as a front, but its easy to flip the pad contact dial round for use on the other side of the bars.
Cheers, I've ordered a pair from Merlin at £65 each as I was looking for something reasonably light and [i know this is G@Y but...] white too! Not messed with hydraulics much before so good chance to learn about shortening hoses and bleeding etc
The information given here has been really helpful - so thanks again. I'll try and post some pics etc as I go in case anyone comes up with the same daft idea in future.
