Pie...I never thought the day would come, when I would be correcting you in regards to Trad gear.

But,...the correct answer is..."It depends." The last time I got out climbing, I compared my Rockcentric Hexes to QQClimbers Hexentrics. My hexes ran considerably larger.

Granted...most people have the Hexcentrics...so that's what he's probably talking about...so I'm going to sly away from, and off of my soap box.

Thanks,

Sounds like Hex envy to me. But yes, I was reefering to BD Hexes.

Thanks for the info...should have been more clear about what type of hex. I was asking about BD Hexes.
