No, it really won't. I'm completely incompetent in both, but even at Nationals, I never do nearly as bad relative to the "field" at 2x2x2 as I do at 3x3x3, on a percentage basis. You're underestimating my incompetence at 3x3x3.

I was referring to how the 2x2 results would improve greatly when Nationals comes to Columbus compared to the results we normally see around here. But at least it's hard to match our (greater than 3x3) BLD times!

Why is it that after an hour of 2x2x2 solves, my 3x3x3 seems so big?
It literally feels very different than before I started solving my 2x2x2.

Your hands have become acclimated to the 2x2x2 size.

Ok so I just received my new Dayan+MF8, it sucks right now, but after doing some turns on it, my 3x3x3 felt normal again. I guess that's the secret
BTW...What should I lube it with?

My Cubetwist Clock came in early and does anybody know how to make the wheels smoother and the pins smoother and how to keep the pins from locking up?

I would suggest lubing it. Have a look at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r5PiqY6-YpY and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D3uEKOEE-Nc

Yeah after its been taken apart you will need tape to hold it together. Its alright though you can use clear tape. Also this way it will be easy to take the tape off and re lube/clean when needed. I like taking mine apart because it gets really dirty inside.

EDIT: If you want to get quick at clock watch this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0O9yTgZSt7A after you have learnt to solve it (I'm not sure if you have yet)

ugh this sucks. I tried lubing it he way he told me to and now the paper inside of it is ruined. I can barely see the numbers but at least it moves smooth now.

 

[RyanReese09]

Lubix the core of the Dayan, Maru lube on outer layers.

 

[danthecuber]

So the lubix you are supposed to put into the cube when an edge is off is not good enough?

 

[Cool Frog]

bump

Its on the same page...

Anyhow, I got my mf8 recently (had to upgrade from my broken mefferts) and I sprayed some Jigaloo into the core and work it in and some more on the outer ball core and worked it.
Then I sprayed a lot in and worked it in and now it feels a lot better.

 

[EricReese]

Dont lube the outer layers with Lubix lol. You need too much to spread through all the pieces. Trust me, my Dayan is SEX with the combination in ryans post. He got that idea from me (who got it from Evan Lui)

No.
