The other thing to remember about the A-160 and a lot of clock dividers are that they are not "musical" dividers but "mathematical" ones. What I mean by this is that they don't divide "on the down beat". The A-160's /2 output puts out a clock on the second clock in which is a beat off the downbeat. In a musical structure you want the divisions to happen but you want them on the downbeat. To achieve this you have to invert all the outs of the A-160, Then the outputs will be musically orientated instead of mathematical.

Clock in - ^^^^^^^^^^^^

A-160 /2 out _^_^_^_^_^_^

You want ^_^_^_^_^_^_

When you reset the A-160 you won't get a /2 out until the second clock in without inverting the output. The 4MS Rotating Clock Divider is one of the type that outputs on the downbeat.
