I have just started to try this - is it ever cool.

Hello, As to my knowledge, there are two sorts of black friction pegs. Sort 1 is the oldest one. It has the usual form of a peg, but it has full-length ribbons on it: from the middle to the end, there's a ridge to cause the friction. These pegs stay (...)
