The old BD hexes were designed to be slung with 5.5mm spectra cord only. I can see how people slinging them with perlon accessory cord would be dangerous. Plus, they are way easier to place with wire cables. Well, not exactly. The old Chouinard/BD hexes were designed for 5mm-9mm perlon depending on the hex size. Later, they sold plastic inserts to reduce the hole sizes for 5.5 cordage. At some point, they were sold drilled for 5.5 and later slung with wire only. http://climbaz.com/.../graphics/page09.JPG Still, no reason the wire could not be cut and drilled out for 5.5mm if that's what the OP wanted. Personally, when I use hexes I like a flexible cord on them.
