Track nuts- sizes?
I'm cashing in one of my stupid question cards today:

I have a few rear wheels with campy hubs lying around and I finished building another bike. Rather than sharing track nuts, I bought another set. These nuts work fine with the axels, but they require a wrench 2mm larger than the other nuts. Is there a standard nut size?

Looks like I'll need another wrench for my flat kit...

Shall I assume the new aluminum 17s are better than the 15s...?
