When Peter Lynn started making composite axles for their buggy, the first thing I wanted was to put one on my Flexi buggy. Unfortunately it did not fit.
Late last year Craig from Peter Lynn contacted me before an event and asked me to try his composite axle out & see if I could break it, the axle was on a PL buggy which is not my preferred buggy to freestyle with. I didn't end up trying it at the event.
I sent PL a PM requesting if they would make a composite axle that will slip straight onto the back of a Flexi buggy I could do all the testing you want on it, I was not expecting an enthusiastic response. The PM back was quick with the words "we are already making it" :rolleyes:
That was 4 months ago........
The axle arrived, I slipped it straight onto the back of my Flexi buggy.
In the last few months with serious requests to try and bend, twist and break it, I have not succeeded, what I have succeeded in is not bending at least 5 rear axles I would have in that time with numerous heavy landings that from experience would have bent my standard axle very badly.
The axle feels like a firmer ride than a standard flexi axle, the diameter is slightly narrower than the flexi axle, the weight is negligible, the composite material is great for axle grabs as it is not as slippery as the standard axle.
The best part I found is that the composite axle runs 20-mm axle bolts, hence why I am running 2 PL wheels on the rear, these are very strong and I have not bent one yet (neither would I want to)
For those that are modding their rear axles, this could be your answer. Personally I would not put anything else on the back after what I have done with this axle its perfectly suited to freestyle, slip it straight on and go nuts. :D

p.s.. I have no commercial or sponsored deals with Peter Lynn kites, I was just fortunate enough to be given the first proto type for the Flexi buggy to test and use.
Well who better could you ask than one of the world's best free stylist's, to put this new axle design to the destruction test. If you can't destroy it Luke then it's starting to speak for it's self.
Just remember to crash test the axle and not yourself

THE, I say THE worlds best freestylist.
Big news for Peter Lynn and big news for buggying in general. Well done for getting the gig.
And you saw it first right here on seabreeze. Nice.
Not sure about "The" certainly working on it though.
Craig at PL are most excellent to work on projects with.
Has been much interest in the axle from the UK.
