I thought that the whole idea of the introduction of the black pins was to
provide this friction. You use a grey pin when you need elements to rotate
about them and a black one when rigidity is required. I'm now wondering if
I should sort my black pins into 'slotted' and 'solid' and see which has
most friction. If the slotted ones allow rotation then I don't think they
are doing the job.

| (...) I agree, I think that is the difference between black & grey. I don't think there's significant difference in friction between "slotted" and "un-slotted" black pins, but they do (both kinds) allow some rotation, just not as much as the grey (...) (23 years ago, 15-Mar-01, to lugnet.technic)

| (...) They still allow rotation, albeit with some friction. I think the point of the black pegs is that they don't have any slack for movements other than rotation, unlike the grey ones. Jürgen (23 years ago, 15-Mar-01, to lugnet.technic)

| (...) what I've noticed is the black friction pins - many models I've bought already built I've found it extremely hard to remove these, requiring me to push with an axle very hard. A couple I haven't been able to remove at all - I had to drill them (...) (23 years ago, 15-Mar-01, to lugnet.technic)
