fyi: when people use hex it is just a form of a live axle, check out that thread, everything you need is there.

Re: Hex vs. Dead axil

We used dead axels last year, and got sort of aggrivated. So this year we're going to switch to live axels, but not in the form of hex, as we don't have a hex broach.

As far as breaking a key... If you can break one, I'm not too sure you're distributing your load properly...

Yeah, the advantage doesn't come so much in not having to worry about breaking keys. It's that you don't have to worry about having keys. You just slide the wheel on the shaft and go.
