Sometimes that's good advice. In this case, not so much.
Neither a 1.0 metric nor a 26tpi gauge fits exactly on those axles and
Sachs/SRAM doesn't state the thread.Ā* Even if you decided that
'something close' would do, there are no m11x1.0 nuts in common use
anywhere, not autos, not McMaster-Carr or what have you.
Tom is wrong of courseā¢, as you point out. That SRAM/Sachs cap nut is a
custom part not used anywhere else. The reason for 10.5mm is because
SRAM/Sachs felt that they needed a slightly, stronger, larger diameter
axle for their Dual-Drive hub.
Here is an image of the nut:

Here's a Reddit thread about this nut, including an answer from Sheldon
Brown:

Here is a shop in the UK selling them:

As Sheldon pointed out, in a pinch you can use a Sturmey-Archer 13/32 x
26 TPI cap nut instead (13/32"=10.32mm).
