I don't know :(
But the wheel I purchased off rogan weighs considerably less than my halo, and I can't swap the axle out of the stupid hub to one that takes nuts.
The alan key nuts seem a bit cheese like, they won't last long. And I want the wheel to look like it's bolted in with traditional track nuts.
Yukirin-

Make some stepped studs, M10×1.0 on one end to take standard track nuts, whatever size fits your hub on the other end. Screw them into the axle with some Loctite 2700 to provide the axle extension required to accommodate your track nuts. Go easy with the peanut butter wrench if the hub end of your stud has a smaller thread than the nut end.

What thread size? The answer is still probably no, since 15mm AF isn't a normal nut or bolt head size. What are you finding particularly stupid about Allen key screws? If it's the inability to apply enough torque without damaging either the socket or the driver, Torx is the answer. If it's a rear hub, chain tugs are the answer, I have no trouble with my M6 hub retaining screws, because the chain tugs handle the chain tension so I only need to apply 6-8Nm to the screws to hold the wheel in the bike.
