All axles are not created equal. Make sure you buy pegs to fit your
axle. Bring it with you.
Regular BMX pegs on a BC wheel are not what you want. As someone
mentioned above, they will rotate because there's nothing to keep them
from doing so. Your feet will roll right off.
My old BC had moped pegs. These screwed onto the axle and the peg part
was about 1.5" below the axle. They worked fine. You don't need a nut to
hook your feet under, but that makes your footing much more secure.
As also mentioned above, pegs on a giraffe must have enough thread in
them to be sturdy. If they only go a few times around, you shouldn't
stand on them. I have always worried about the threads on my Schwinn
Giraffe axle, but they have held up for many years at this point.
