Here she is, new DaBomb Sputnik frame from Chain Reaction UK, trail and jump bike, I'll be running these wheels for the trail, and have some new 24s for the street scene, switch em back and forth.

Ya, they just came with those wheels I bought for another bike, I have the Halo bolt axles in the mail, and on the way. My other wheels have the bolt axles also.

If you're talking about the Halo Hex skewers, they won't help. Still slip. They are actually kind of cheap. I put some on my fiancee's XC bike, and the little flange to stop the other side from spinning broke right off.

You need actual nut and threaded axle to keep that chain in place, and possibly even beyond that, a chain-tug tensioner.

Congrats on the new bike though, shred that sled!
