(...) Hmmm. That's interesting. If you're talking (URL) 1981), the brickshelf instructions definitely look like they're grey, not black. Were there 2 versions of the set I wonder? Seems strange LEGO would produce a different colour for just 1 set. (...) (23 years ago, 30-Jan-02, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.space, lugnet.admin.database)

(...) Thanks. I've been waiting for Lego to make this part. It only seems natural to have a friction peg with an axle end. It will certainly be a useful part and I hope they include it in more new Technic sets. TJ (23 years ago, 30-Jan-02, to lugnet.technic)

(...) They are definitely friction pegs. They are indeed black. I'd be disappointed to if I had bought a 'sorting toy' instead of a construction toy. The REAL confusion would be if they were light grey. (23 years ago, 30-Jan-02, to lugnet.technic)

(...) Well, I've been experimenting with macaroni bearings, and had some pretty good results. You can attach 24 & 40 tooth gears directly to the 2x2 rounds - this means the axle only has to take all the load at one small point. I haven't yet tested (...)
