not aware of any standard type pedal axles that can be swapped out with skyway ones, there were some Skyway copies around bitd but not sure if the axles were a straight swap.  Might be worth looking at a trade to see if anyone has a set they want to swap axles on.

i could be wrong on this,but i've always been under the impression that Skyway axles were slightly oval as they have no bearings and spin on their grease,nothing more.
