Edge Piece Popping Out

[dabest2500]

Hi, I'm new to this forum and this is my first post.
I have a speed cube and sometimes, when I turn it, an edge piece pops out.
This in turn causes public embarrassment and annoyance.
Any help would be much appreciated.

This is the only helpful advice you'll get from anybody:

1) Get a different cube
2) Tighten the tension
3) Deal with it and stop complaining

If you want to know what cube to get, or what to do for tensioning and lubing, then you need to look around the forums more- there are many threads about these topics. If you want people to get angry with you, continue making repeat threads, and start complaining about your cube.

Sorry, didn't mean to seem like a troll.
Thanks for the advice.

Which cube do you use?

Which cube do you use?

No idea what it's called, but it has vinyls instead of stickers and make that nice sound you get from the old cubes.
Do you want a picture?

 

[antoineccantin]

That would help. Don't forget pictures of the pieces.

By the way, welcome to the forum.

I didn't feel it would be only take one answer.

Looks maybe like a type C, but not sure...

Could I have pictures of the pieces too, it would help alot.

 

[dabest2500]

Could I have pictures of the pieces too.

[antoineccantin]

Is it adjustable?(are there screws under the centers which you can tighten/loosen)

 

[dabest2500]

No idea how to take the center out.

 

[baseball-chicago]

just pop the center piece cap off, that is if it is a DIY. Try this video, not sure who's it is but it might help http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IuuN4kHneuo

 

[antoineccantin]

Try putting your nail under the center to try taking it out.

If it can't come out, then it is not adjustable and you can't tighten it, and the best things to do would probably be:

1) Get a new cube ( I can give you suggestions if you want )

2) Try turning a bit slower (if possible)

 

[dabest2500]

I've tried and tried, it's not coming off.
The cube's had it's time.
Can you suggest me a cube that:

1) Won't give me this problem
2) Is suitable for speedcubing
3) Is smooth (?)

GuHongs are what most people will say. A-Vs are good and it's my first and only speedcube but I've handled many GuHongs. I plan on upgrading to a GuHong once I decide to drop money on another 3x3 instead of a totally new puzzle. (Square-1 is calling me lately)

There you go...
