Yeah I already knew that actually! You think this needs an all new hub?

No idea of the history of the bike, but a new axle isn't going to fix the underlying issue that broke the first hub. At some point down the line you will just have another broken axle, probably at the worst moment possible.

I've broken a few axles, could feel a little bit of play. But didn't even know until I took the wheel out and the cluster fell on the ground.

Likewise, I broken a front axle and only noticed it once I went to service the bearings.
Admittedly, a busted rear axle is bit more of a 'Fail to proceed' kind of moment I'd think.
hit mill creek yesterday early while it was still a bit sunny. trails are in pretty good nick. I'm still absolutely shite on Black Hawk Down, getting faster but still shite, but at least the climb up isn't too bad. Enjoyed the various rock rolls and drops on the other trails, finished up with a pretty good/clean run on the A line of hit the turps, so stoked to finish the day on a high note.

Had a recovery session that didn't feel anything like recovery. Whenever I stopped pedalling the fly wheel would stop dead almost instantly.
Turns out the "lock" bolt was actually a pulley angle adjuster. Screwed it back out and the belt pulled itself back over the rib. Probably been that way for a few weeks.
*No fingers were maimed in the making of this repair.

What could the underlying issue be? Apart from the potential of being a fuckwit of course...

I have snapped 1 axle in my few years of riding. It was about 15 years ago and i have always blamed going big for it. In reality it was more likely the qr skewer on the bike had worked itself a little loose and I proceeded to go moderate without noticing for a few rides. If I remember it was a DT Swiss 340 135x10 qr hub. I still have the matching front wheel and it still spins like a dream.

Hurts. Requires Money. And is nerdy.
I’ve managed to do the same with a hub when the freehub bearings crapped out without my knowledge and I kept riding it. That hub had freeplay adjustment because it was a semi sealed set up and I had no idea, just ran it into the ground.
Replaced it with Hope and changed bearings as needed.

Could be design, poor heat treat in a production batch, could be bearings shat themselves, could be that you're a mountain goat trapped in a man's body.
I've had a really good run with Hope, I9, and Funn Fantom hubs. The I9 pawls and driverings can be broken with abuse; Hope OEM bearings are rubbish and sometimes the pawls or pawl springs fail; no complaints whatsoever with the Funns, which are also the cheapest to buy and get freehubs for.
PSA: Funn Fantoms and Spank Hex use the same freehubs.

I still wish I'd kept my Nukeproof Horizon V2 wheels - they were excellent. My son has a Horizon V2 rear wheel he bought locally - it has a lovely freehub buzz too!

Finished my latest "keeps me busy to avoid thinking about other shit" build this morning.
Scott Scale 930 frame, from the ground up.
BRAND NEW everything..(except the bars, which I don't like, so might swap them out).
Just got to give it a run up the road to ensure all is well and then it's going to the 'FOR SALE' page....but its raining here, so that will have to wait.

Solid build!
I REALLY want some of those brakes but in the limited edition neon yellow "Magura MT8 Raceline" version.
