The Cyclotourist has a very narrow tread, so these would probably not be for you.
I get 160 mm for the Q on my XD2 with its stock Sam Hill bb; not that 5 mm is a huge difference, and doubtless is more than made up by shoes, cleat position and pedal choice; but I wonder if you measured more carefully than I. (At any rate, this setup is at the outer limits of what I can tolerate, Q-wize.)
