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 top view of the DX Engineering hexxagonal hub.

Here's the hardware included with the DX Engineering hexxagonal hub.
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.
