Right. I haven't replaced bearings on my MTBs yet. I've no idea what lifespan they'll get compared to my old stuff. I do less miles now but the ones I do are 'harder' on moving parts.
But I also like to stick with the most 'standard' of the standards so will almost certainly never buy anything like this.

Not necessarily breaking axles, but reducing bearing life due to higher bending of axles. Maybe that axle would have survived if the bearings were further apart and didn't turn to soup quite so quickly ;)
