Dx Engineering Hexxagonal HexBeam Hub

I ordered one of the Dx Engineering Hexxagonal HexBeam Hubs this past weekend to do
some comparisons with the hex baseplate hub that I have been fabricating over the past two
years.

I received the hub in a well packed 9 pound box yesterday via UPS
Three days from Ohio to Tennessee is pretty standard shipping time.

Here's a view of the DX Engineering hexxagonal hub on a scale for weigh in



My observations so far:

• It's heavy
• The center post clamping configuration is much more complicated than my (hexkit.com) standard baseplate.
