How many people are breaking axles? I haven't broken an axle for years. My missus broke one because she let her bearings turn to soup and the wheel exploded - nothing to do with bearing placement or flex or whatever.

That's putting it a bit strongly. They seem to be congratulating themselves on "inventing" the torque tube which was in Powertap hubs twenty years ago. I'm not sure that solving a problem which doesn't exist with a design which is decades old qualifies as "innovation", and certainly not for better.

Some interesting hub developments from the Peak District.
Increasing stiffness by moving the bearings further from the centre of the hub, but introducing proprietary discs and a slightly questionable 'cassette carrier' interface.
