If you don't pop cubes very much, then go with the Dayan+Mf8. Otherwise, go with the Shengshou.

I am a pretty rough turner so ssv3 it is

Yes. You would be much better off with the SS VIII than the Dayan+Mf8.

Does it matter if I put an C4U or Dayan core in my Lingyun v2 (the core deteriorated, too much shock oil must have softened the plastic)? Is there any big difference?

 

[n00bcub3r]

if there is one it is very subtle, i cant tell if there is any difference though

Where?

 

[Ryan Jung]

should i get a lubix lingyun or a lubix zhanchi?

 

[oliverfreitas]

lubix zhanchi

 

[jakkspeedcuber]

Where?

On the preorder page. There are cubes that are too pricey for them to stock regulary, so they put it on there. At the beginning of each month, like 3-4th, they order the exact same amount of cubes that everybody ordered, and ship them right to you. So you got to wait a little longer, but they promess to beat pricing of any other cube store, and if you find it cheaper, they will sell you for even cheaper, so it's really a good deal.

Most people are going to say Dayan Zhanchi no matter how slow they are.

 

[conn9]

Normal Zhanchi or Lubix Zhanchi?

I can't mod and I only have silicon spray (sorry Kirjava I still have no clue).

I'm averaging about 2min a solve as of last night. I got a Danyun Linyun the other night and I'm wondering if that is the right cube for a beginner like me. Right now I'm using a store bought Rubik's which was lubricated with Vaseline until 15min ago when I cleaned it out and put in Jig-a-loo (loosing some brain cells in the process, can't sleep in my bedroom tonight). Basically I'm wondering what type of cube to get or if the one I got on the way is good enough. Also if someone has already asked this sorry, I went through about the first 20 pages then got fed up!

 

[Ryan Jung]

thats tough. you should first aim to get a 1 minute-1 minute 30 secs until u get a real speedcube. some are just too frail in hard cubers hands. my suggestion is to just stick with the lingyun and practice until u get 30 secs. then think about lubing it with lubix

 

[Godmil]

yeah, a LingYun is fine.

I lingyun is a great cube, and you probably won't need a new one for a long time. Once you get your times down to under a minute, lubing it would be a good idea (avoid vaseline, it eats cubes).

Oh and when we read the other posts of the thread, we mean that last few pages; especially when the thread has hundreds of pages like this thread.

 

[ljackstar]

Ok then, thanks guys. BTW, just did about 3 solves a second ago and got an average of 1:31.48 and got a new PB of 1:10.26 SO I guess all this means is keep practicing I guess!

 

[Pandadudex96]

Should I get a shenshou 5x5 or stay with my v cube.

v-cube: loose and kind of poppy but once every 5 solves maybe

 

[EeeeeWarne]

SS 5x5 is awesome. It is also really cheap...so what do you have to lose? I have never had it pop on me (admittedly, I am really slow on 5x5...)
