[Help Thread] Spring noise

[Miikalsen]

Ill go out and try buying some Silicon and see if that helps on the core.

I find that shock oil doesn't perform as well as Lubix/Traxxas.

Isn't Traxxas the same as shock oil?

 

[radmin]

Maru lube won't work because its not a silicone lubricant, and will easily dry up. Trust me its worth the money to get Lubix or Traxxas.

Maru lube does have silicone in it. The problem is that it wears out quickly and rusts some brands of screws.

Nope. Traxxas is a Diff oil.

 

[Shamankian]

Differential oil and Shock oil is the same kind of product, it is only the viscosity that changes. Shock oil is the lower wt and Differential oil is the higher ones.

That happened to me so i tried turning the screw top to bottom if that makes any sense.
Traxxas is as good as lubix just telling you guys.

Lube it, and break it in. I hated the noise, but it goes away.

Thats because it's basiacally just putting water lube in your cube.

How to fix a spring noise?

I've had this issue recently, whenever I turned my Zhanchi, it gave out this springy noise. It sounds twinkly, and it's relatively annoying.
I mean, it's not a huge deal, but I'm wondering what's is causing this, and whether it affects my performance or not?

Lubricate the core

Is it possible to use Maru lube to lube the core? How do you do it, do you just drip it onto the screw accessible by opening the center cap?

Sry for posting in the wrong place

No, maru lube isn't that good for lubing the core. And you have to unscrew everything

Thank you

Thank you so much for posting this.

I had that annoying spring noise on my Zhanchi and being completely new to cubing I had no idea what it was. A quick search on this forum revealed the answer. I've taken the cube apart and lubed exactly where CBC suggests and it's almost silent now.

THANK YOU

Need help with the spring noise on the Dayan 2x2

I got my Dayan ZhanChi 2x2 yesturday, and it has a weird spring noise when I turn yellow and white. Should I edit the tensions on those sides? Take out something?

Lube the core like this:

You should lube the core. That is usually the problem, and fixes it most of the time.

Also, lol, "edit" the tensions.

Ok thanks for the help!
