Ordered the following:
Shimano MA-F Disc Brake Mounting Bracket (Black, 180-mm Post/IS Front)
Shimano XT 180mm Ice-Tech Disc Brake Rotor
Shimano XT M785 Front Quick Release Skewer: Black
The reason for the new skewer is to make sure the front wheel stays on better due to the increased braking performance. It's supposedly better designed, though a little heavier, than what typically comes with a stock bicycle purchase.
Will update when installed.
