    don't understand the 135 or 142 widths. as I ride road bikes the wheels are all the same width

    142/12mm width is for use with maxle system.

    135mm QR width is for a standard quick release system.

    You need the QR135.
    Mountain bikes have various standards for different uses.
    135 QR is nice and light, good for xc bikes. 150x12 is heavy but very stiff and good for downhill bikes.
    142x12 is a good compromise for trail or enduro bikes and there's also 135x12.

    Road bikes have had two different width rears, it's called evolution.
