adeshere:
Cant rememberif they have their size stamped on them or not

If the threads were left slightly f'ed by fitting the wrong pegs before this could be your problem.
Get a nice accurate rule and place the inch measurements along the thread.
Count how many thread peaks there are to one inch. 24/26?
or
Place the front and rear axles parallel together, so that the threads are meshing together, if the threads fit peak to trough nicely they are the same thread, if not, they are different pitch.
I think you said the rear is sorted now?
Just trying to help identify where the problem is.
or
A local bike shop/engineering shop/supplier may be able to help you i.d. the threads.
Stella Dave:
good thinkin with the rule, makes sense really! Threads seem to be okay as I've put original nuts back on.
Rear went on fine, it's def 24tpi. Front is mystery. I have another spare axle which is same size, pegs wont go on at all.
Stella Dave:
Right, problem solved! Front IS 26tpi, there was a combination of manufacturing debri and paint from the original peg coating.
Working the pegs on and off very gently. So take note or you'll wreck your pegs as they are VERY soft!

Glad you got THAT sorted! Got any pics of the bike?
Skyway pegs were sooooo bloody useless - as you say - VERY soft! I remember puttin a pair on and within a few hours of standing on 'em/ usin' them, the threads had stripped - pegs useless!
Thank gawd someone invented tube pegs....
