1:34.40, 1:29.63, 1:17.95, 1:24.92, 1:38.58, 1:21.36, 1:32.64, 1:28.51, 1:18.00, 1:10.86, 1:30.72, DNF1:19.87(I hate this cube)

How on earth does masterofthebass use this cube?!?!?!?! It pops so much that its hard to even get through an average of 12. I had 4 cubesplosions when scrambling and at the end I wanted to throw my cube against the wall.

Is there any way to fix this?

xxoxia has a video about how to tension the DaYan+mf8 so that it's a very good cube.

That didn't tell le anything on how to tension it or make it so it doesn't pop.

Oh sorry about that, I watched the video a little while ago and I remember just immediately knowing what to do, which is take the shells off, tension screws to be really tight, put shells back on, assemble, and just mess with the tensions from there.

Mini QJ is the only cube you need to be sub-1.

Average = 2:15.93

Comments : sub 2 would of been nice have done loads of 4x4 recently, got down from 4 min to 2 min in a matter of days, just cant seem to get consistently sub 2 solves

I figured it out. Lube the 2x2 part well, tighten the 2x2 screws a lot, shell screws should be about 2 wrist turns loose.

How is it now? Do you still hate it?

 

[cuber952]

Just so everyone knows, Cyrus said that once he graduates he is going to stop running the thread.

 

[RyanReese09]

Why? Updating a race once per week literally takes 10 minutes to do. I do it for 5x5x5 thread and it's not terrible.

If he won't c hange his mind, we need another runner...

 

[EricReese]

I'll do it

[emolover]

How is it now? Do you still hate it?

It is orgasmic. Its really fast, doesn't pop and feels like an almost perfect 4x4. Since it is tighter, that does effect the corner cutting a little bit.

1:01.43, 1:03.59, 1:06.55, 1:07.30, 55.05[oll parity :O], 1:04.84, 1:03.27, 1:01.43, 1:07.55, 1:02.81, 58.07, 1:06.35 = 1:03.56

Very nice single in there. This average had a ridiculous amount of parity. This could have been a PB average. I had OLL parity 7/12 solves. Few PLL parities in here.
