What did you do to your GuHong?

[linkin182]

I think most people use type A.

type A i or type A V core?

 

[bobthegiraffemonkey]

I've rounded off the pieces on the outside where the component parts of the cubies meet (need to disassemble the cubies to do this properly), it was annoying to keep getting scratched. Also rounded off the feet of the corners a little. I recently cleaned it out and re-lubed and it's amazing now (W5 silicon oil for those interested).

I just lube the core and the pieces with Vacproof (it's like a thicker Lubik). I'll probably do the Elite mod to one of them to see if it's worth doing to the rest at some point (I have quite a few so it'll be extremely time consuming if it's just that good).

ocrap i was thinking about my AV. lol.

Wasn't dayan guhong released after that?

I had my AV in my head for some reason. so yea, oops.

I got the correct tap and threaded the one side of the core that is wrong.

I did something similar. I used the tip of a pocket knife to carve the smaller hole.

No need to double post. Click the convenient edit button.

I'm pretty sure it was released around June 2010

Looks like they made their first appearance (here) on 27 May 2010. Looks like they were first available for preorder 10 June 2010. The thread you linked to showed that some of them were at least shipped out by 17 June 2010.

Got mine on July 2010, added washers to the top of the screws so the springs slide even more, Jigaloo. It's the best cube I have, but it is getting slower.

You didn't even look or think about it? :O

 

[spunkymp4]

that happened to me, but you just got to clean and re lube if anything it will be better than before.

Sanded every piece down with sand paper. Dried/cleaned them off once done, then sprayed the pieces with D39. Core is lubed with lubix from the Ultimate Guhong.

Best ****ing 3x3 I have ever felt now.

I stick it in the refrigerator because I like to solve it cold.

^

No joke?

 

[tertius]

Yes, no joke. I like the way it handles.

 

[freshcuber]

Haha well that's one I bet most have never heard. What made you try it the first time?

 

[tertius]

I left it in my car overnight one day when it was cold, when I solved it shortly after it felt great. Since then, I have left it in my trunk and driven around at work while it chills. Once on a break, I will take it out and do some solves.

It turns a little slower but is better than tightening the tension because it doesn't lock up (like with the increased tension). It also has increased grip with my hand when it is chilled.

I will agree, odd, but it adds a little fun to it.

He said he core tapered it, does that mean he switched to a alpha core?
