Any idea whether I'd need 168mm or 173mm rear QR, of those two XT ones you'd linked? And will a regular front road Shimano QR do the trick, or is the XT front one likely to be better somehow?
The different length are to fit thin/thick droupouts. There's probably a SI document somewhere which gives actual dimension limits, but the short one is probably right for most frames. FWIW, I have a 163mm Ultegra here which clamps down to 142mm max overall width across dropouts, so the 168 should cover up to 147mm.
A road front will work fine, but you might as well be a tart and get a matching pair :-)

Good! :) Any idea whether I'd need 168mm or 173mm rear QR, of those two XT ones you'd linked? And will a regular front road Shimano QR do the trick, or is the XT front one likely to be better somehow? Silly question, I'm sure.
