Hello everyone!

This is a setup tutorial for the Valk 2M 2x2.

This setup will make the cube SO much better than before.

anyway, here is the setup:


Step 1:

Find either the extra springs that came in the box, or you can use the medium length extra springs that come with the YJ MGC 2x2.



Step 2:

Take apart the cube.



Step 3:

Clean the cube.

All you need is a spray bottle and a towel, and that should do the work.



Step 4:

Losen all the screws until they come off.

Set the screws and springs aside, as well as the white pieces that came off.



Step 5:

Take an extra Valk 2M spring or a YJ MGC 2x2 medium length extra spring (either one will work for this) and put it underneath a screw.

Then, put the screw and the spring on top of the white piece.

Insert the screw back in and tighten.

Repeat this for all 6 sides of the cube.



Step 6:

Reassemble the cube. Make sure the pieces are dry.



Step 7:


Once the cube is reassembled, tighten each until you can no longer tighten it anymore.




Step 8:

Pick any side, and losen that sides's screw by two 360 degree turns.

Repeat this for all sides.


Step 9:


Lube the cube with any non-silicone based lube that speeds up the cube.

Do NOT use silicone or a lube that is intended to slow down the cube.



That is it!
This setup is really good, and it makes the cube become a lot faster, and a lot smoother.
