Even if a 10mm axle squeezes into those dropouts, they are designed to accomodate a standard axle nut for a 9mm axle.
Thanks Scrod. To be clear, all the axles are standard 9mm. The nuts are 9mm. But the external diameter is the problem... just 1-2mm too big. I'll head to the shop and see if they have any that might be slightly smaller... though it sounds like these are fairly standard. Can't imagine this would be a problem with fork used by Leader though. Odd.
