What did you do to your GuHong to make it so good?

Hi,

So what did you do to your GuHong to make it so good?

 

[cubefan4848]

I have the same question because my can only cut half a cubie at the best of times

 

[avgdi]

Tenshun and loob.

 

[RCTACameron]

I silicone lubed mine, then tightened it a bit because it overshot and popped too much. Now, it's very fast, doesn't lock up and can easily cut 40 degrees.

I'm having terrible trouble trying to get my tension right on my guhong. I loved it out of the box when I got it from Lubix, but I found it a little too loose - I just kept losing control of it and accidental turning the wrong faces during some fingertricks. I tried tightening it, but it still feels really loose up to the point that it becomes impossible to cut corners. Is everyone's Guhong like this? Do I just need to learn to be more careful while solving, or is there a way of making it more stable.

Correctly tensioned it, lubed it with Speedcubers silicone I bought at Dutch Open 2010 and Maru lube. The Maru lube really does wonders. My Guhong now cuts around 50 degrees.

Also, I didn't put any of those little triangles in the bottom part of the corners (if you bought a DIY Guhong, you know what I'm talking about). That probably helps too.

I just changed my opinion on this cube and now I think its horrible because after a while all the sides feel uneven. By that I mean some sides may be looser than others. But I checked and they are all on the same tension. Also the cubes becomes WAY TO FAST and is not cotrollable at all. At first this cube is good but after a while it has a lot of problems. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS CUBE AT ALL. Overall rating 4/10. I give it a 4 because of the corner cutting and that it is prone to poping. Everthing else about this cube is horrible!! I think control is more important than speed and corner cutting. I'm gonna buy an Alpha V or an FII and see if those cubes live up to the hype they get and not how this cube did to its hype.

i had the same problem out the box, i didnt touch the tension tho.... i just dealt with it and learned to control it better and now i love it.

Yeah I had the same problem. But I learned better control and now it is amazing, I still sometimes accidentally turn other slices. But they are getting less and less frequent. I ordered mine from lubix.

I thought that may be the best solution. I tried fine tuning the tension, and I think I've got a happy medium, I just need to learn to control it better now.

I just learned to controll it. No cube is perfect

Same here... constant overshooting and accidental turning of slices.

I bought an additional AV besides my main and went back to them... Although I love the speed, lack of pops and easy turning of the Guhong, I love the "clickiness" and secure turning of the AV even more.

And how does that helps? They only hold the pieces together and have no effects on the final shape of them, since they are completely sealed.

 

[ilikecubing]

ya somethin similar happening with my guhong,i just got it 3 days back.It is unlubed

I loosed the tension of all sides,but when i solve,some accidental turns makes it to pops pieces out,i guess i loosened it more than required,how much will you loosen the center screw with the intent to make it more finger-trick friendly and on the other side make sure that pieces don't pop out?

 

[Winball]

I loosened mine really really much.
It's too loose to pop.

But I can't get it to be as good as the Color Guhong I have. (This one is unlubed and new)

 

[ben1996123]

I ordered one.

Adjust tensions until in doesn't pop. Lube core and cube with vac-u-proof.

Because now the 3 pieces of the bottom of the corner can be pushed away, so I guess it can help with corner cutting.

 

[musicninja17]

Yeah. I really liked the feel of it, so i switched from my main cube to the guhong HALFWAY THROUGH THE ROUND.
Not the greatest idea, i overshot on TWO of my solves, and just barely broke sub 30...
Pitiful.

But now i'm at 22~23.
You just have to learn to control it, lubix is great too.

I tried it on 3 corners. I don't know if the little additional flexibility is worth risking breaking the other plastic holders (with only one on each piece). They do seem pretty fragile...
