SS 4x4 solution to internal lock-ups

**Hunter** · 06-21-2012

I finished my mod last night, and I first put it together it was way worse than before I started.

After a little lube, some breaking in and a re-tension it made a huge transformation, and it is now much better than before!

I am thinking now about sanding some open areas on the 4 corners of each face like my ZhanChi to give it a little reverse corner cutting.

I did the konsta and florian mod then tighten the cube ALL the way, and I loved it.
I still like it but I noticed that after a week of use (did about 100 solves total) its starting to lock up more.
Anyone else experiencing this?

idk about you, but i only did the florian mod and the cube has gne to crap, it locks up, even POPS, and feel all scratchy and like there is something holding it back. i wana tighten it. (and this may sound stupid) but idk how to tighten it because there are no center caps so it just looks weird. any help?

Just tighten the screws on the core.

I did the Konsta mod and did not do the Florian mod, my cube feels just as good as a ShengShou with both mods.

well i did both and it feels good. some people say konsta only makes 3x3 stage horrible and konsta said he assumed florian was already done.

So, yesterday I spent all day modding my SS 4x4(actual modding time is ~4 hours I think, but there were many breaks). I did Florian's and Konsta's mods. Lubed the core with Lubix and assembled. And was like WTF WHY IS IT SO FAST EVEN IF I TIGHTEN IT SO MUCH THAT IT DOESN'T CUT CORNERS. Really, it's super fast, too fast. After I put Lubix it became bit better, but still I need time to get used to it. Almost no lock-ups. And few attempts of some algs:
PLL parity(l2 U2 l2 Uw2 l2 Uw2) - 0.86
H-Perm - 0.88
T-Perm - 1.03(I think I can do sub-1, just was unlucky yesterday)
6 RURU's - 1.41
OLL Parity 2.33.
In total: AWESOME mods. Do it if you want to have fastest 4x4 in the world.
