Ok, I've been researching in great detail for a new set of hubs and whilst doing so stumbled upon what could be a great security feature for all us lot with track spindles & nuts.
They are quite innovative, carry a number of different patents etc, are available in M9 & M10 thread and state they are specificaly made for bikes (they make a load of other sizes for other applications). The tool required is individual to the nuts you order and registered to you when you buy them, and the nuts have no flat surfaces and generally taper off at an approx 30deg angle. Also stated is that they are capable of handling high torque situations - like tightening track nuts.
Best of all is the price = £14 for 1 tool and 2 nuts. They do discounts for larger orders apparently.
Given this is public I can if people wish post the link up here, or send a link in a pm to anyone who wants it.
