My stickers are ruined!

[nalralz]

My white Dayan Zhanchi that I got in June 2014 has had well over 5,000+ solves on it and well over 275,000+ turns on it and the stickers are all folding and chipped so bad that I think that it is no longer competition legal. I don't want to replace the stickers and I prefer Dayan. I have a Moyu Weilong and a Aolong V2. I am probably going to use my C4Y cube or get a Dayan Guhong V2, but will the stickers last on the Guhong for over a year of use?

You can buy Dayan shades from the cubicle.us

the stickers on a guhong will break just as fast as the zanchi. strangely enough, i've probably done 20,000 solves on my weilong and there isn't a hint of damage to the moyu stickers.

That was the same for me on my aolong, but 2 months with my weilong (and probably less solves) and now 1 sticker is chipping (cries)

I'm confused as to why this needed a thread...

This is like arguing that clothes wear out after use or strings on a tennis racket break. They just wear out over time, and you have to replace them.

They just wear out over time, and you have to replace them.

But why replace the stickers, which is cheaper, when you can just buy a new cube every time the stickers get a bit scuffed? It makes no sense!

This new thread was not necessary. Just order new stickers.

lel he knows the number of turns on his cube

Realistically its probably average movecount times # or solves

 

[nalralz]

Yup!!! I average about 50-65 moves on the 3x3. I just did an estimate of 5,000 solves (which could be way off) and times it by 55 moves.

But you didn't factor in the scramble. Get a stickerless cube, cos no stickers to wear out.

Yea, the stickers don't chip . They only move around like they've got their own mind

 

[nalralz]

The stickerless cubes are illegal and I already have a stickerless Guhong.

Stickerless cubes are legal.

 

[TheOneOnTheLeft]

Stickerless cubes are legal.

They aren't at the moment, but they're likely to be when the 2015 regulations are released.

I almost started crying.

I don't see how "everyone should get a moyu cube because they are 9001x better"... Dayan cubes are still very good to use. I've found exactly one MoYu 3x3 cube I like, but there are atleast two dayan 3x3's I could consider using as mains


To OP: Just replace the stickers, if you really like the shades then just buy dayan shades

I don't want to replace the stickers

Why not? Serious question.
