The hollow roll pins? Yes, they are known to be a consumable item under high traction situations. It's not a big of a deal when using plastic wheel hexes over the stock axle pins. It is/was a big deal when/if a person (like me) would be using "old school" pin driven wheels and the axle pin would "let loose"...tear the crap outta a perfectly good wheel.

The Associated Factory Team #1654 pins are what you need. The FT are solid pins and will need to be watched when disassembling the axle. They will slide out of the axle if not careful. I use E6000 to keep them in place. I also use music wire or brads to make my own pins.
