If I clean my Dayan Guhong like this-


Will it cause any damage on the stickers or anything on the cube,will the plastic be affected.I just want to make turn it more easily as it has started to lockup occasionaly

No, but I would lube the GuHong with lubix. GuHongs respond much better to Lubix than CRC

Is there a way to loosen a 5x5x5? My 5x5x5, even lubed with CRC, is extremely tight and a pain to turn (vcube)

I have it disassembled, I have done a corner mod to my 5x5x5 (sand down the corners to remove the clicky feel)

loosen the screws?

no need for language:P :L

btw i need a household item that removes the goo stuff on cubes(unnder stickers) and googone is not an option cause you cant buy it here :P

I use CRC lol and a sock >.<

Why do [R U R' U' R' F R F'] and [R U R' F2 L F L' U' F] do the same thing?

because there are many different algorithms that do the same thing, It makes cubing more convenient, cuz if you dont like a particular alg, chances are you can find an alternative one.
 
I talked to Chris Tran on facebook and his advice was lubing the entire thing with D-39 (fully disassembled) and break it in more.

Or he talked about taking a 3x3x3 core and adding a spring structure to make the vcube adjustable. The first one was less work so I did that. It's somewhat decent now. Just starting to practice 5x5x5 now..pb is 5:00.69 now <_<. I'm slow.
 
Fast dot olls?
Don't link me to the wiki or give me lame standard ones.

heres some pages you might like here and here

20 M U R U R' U' r2 R2 U R U' r

keep in mind that they all came from my head, but i got them from the two sites I linked, so you should be able to find them if they are wrong

Im horrible at 5x5, I always end up matching the wrong edges if i go fast, my times on my eastsheen were around 4-5, but my Yj shaved off approx. 30 seonds on avg.

Lol I swore off V cubes because they all have to be modded to be amazing, from what I understand.
Im sure once I start practicing, i can start getting 3ish.



Will practicing one cube for a while and getting good at it help with you other cubes.
Like if i shave 20-30 seconds off my 4x4 times, Will it improve my 5x5 and 3x3?

The 6x6x6 yes, The 5x5x5 just needs a corner sand mod and lube and it's amazing
My 7x7x7 is perfect straight out of the box. I haven't had a need to mod it.
I'm just going off what my cubes are like.
 
godddddddddamnit accidentally page back lose post on dot OLLs.

OLL 3 - r' R2 U R' U r U2' r' U M'

If I can ever afford them, I might buy a set. but for now I cant. lol
so I will most likely get the alternatives for now. since i believe they come adjustable. or at least some brands do. not sure which tho.
