What length to you need to know about pegs?
If you wanna make pegs, make them as long as you want.

If you meant the foldy actually then just use 70mm long bolts with 8mm diameter and add some 24mm-diameter washers for 8mm bolts and use some nice nuts with rubber so they won't get loose.

Inch and centimeter conversion:
1" = 2,54cm = 25,4mm
If you don't know how to calculate, then use this calculator

I'm gonna lock this when you get all the information you need about inch/metric conversion. Feel free to ask more info.

Okay so I think you answered 1 of my questions. The answer is the diameter of the threaded part is 8mm thick right? In other words, the hole in the middle of bearings has a inner diameter of 8 right?
My friend said that for the front, the best is 4 bearing peg because if its more, tailwhips and barspins and others are impossible.

I tried a bolt and put a bearing in it at the back. The first bearing was touching the deck and not going in. Thats no problem right?I can just add alot of washers till the bearings have some space between the deck right?

Okay after I got all my answers, you can lock it.

8 mm is too small, it wobbles loads!

Then whats the right size? Do you have proper bearing peg bolts?I can't find them here. I can trade you like 4 bearings or something.

just go to the hardware store. use a measurment and work it out yourself. thats the way i do most of my things dude.

seriously you shouldn't have to depend on other people to give you things, just go out and buy them there like $2-$3 each...
