Send them to me, and for £399.99 I'll have them back to you, looking like new, complete with chainrings.

PayPal gift?

It's just a sticker. Nothing to worry about.

Landing from a jump/drop by any chance? Looks like a torsional failure. Nice one.

I guess technically you could get someone to weld/braze a tube/shaft up the middle but realistically sell the none drive side and hang the drive side up and be proud.

Must have installed them with a rock.

I'd do the same kinda thing as if I were making a DIY headset press, so just poke a bit of studding through the middle, shove a fat repair washer on either end, topped off by a nyloc (or a domed nut if you are feeling posh) and crank it down with a couple of foot of scaffolding pipe on the end of the spanner - what could possibly go wrong?

I guess if you were concerned, you could shove a bit of MDPE water pipe or something over the studding to save it moving around [i]too[/i] much in the BB shell?

This is a classic failure - I bet the OP fitted 650b wheels and the enhanced trail liveliness has fed back up the drivetrain

It's lucky the axle failed - your ankles were next in line

The spiral bit is a classic torsional failure.

I think you already know the answer about repairing them....
