Just curious, how interested would people be in somebody selling modded ShengShou 5x5s?

hey, i bought my zhanchi and guhong about 2 weeks ago. but now the stickers are peeling off little at a time. i dont have long nails or anything but how do i prevent those stickers from peeling off more? thanks!

When you run into an F2L case that you know an algorithm for, but it requires a cube rotation to do it optimally, is it worth it? or should you just do it as is?

Wow that happened to me too! They peeled like crazy.
Long story short, i didnt do anything lol. They just stopped peeling. Thats all I can tell you.

That's difficult to answer unless you provide the specific F2L case that you're talking about. Try setting up the case and solving each way you described while timing that case.

you can do many f2l cases that are hard to do without rotations with an intuition for wide turn algorithms.
for example instead of Aufing to a F'U'FU'F'UF you could use rU'r'U2rUr'

It is worth it to learn how to use wide turns

I have a white Zhan Chi which was shipped by the "speedsolving store" through amazon. I was wondering what lube they used in it because straight out of the box it's just amazing. thanks.

You can use waffles tutorial, I think he uses screws instead. Apparently they work the same way
youtube.com/cubes4lyfe.

Only reason I'm asking is because I don't want to use screws....

Best bet might be to email them and ask. I'm not sure anywhere here knows exactly. If it's kind of liquidy then it's probably something like Jig-A-Loo or Maru lube. If it's a little thicker and lubed very little then it's most likely Lubix or Traxxas diff oil.

Bump.

If you already have a magic with decent strings, there really is no reason to get them. They are really just normal magic strings, nothing special.

Most just come with factory lube from Dayan.

Acube vs Cube Explorer?

Guys, what are the differences between Acube and Cube Explorer and what are the pro's and con's of each?

 

[Zarxrax]

Acube is better for generating algs, but its harder to learn.
Cube explorer is more user friendly.

What kind of videos should I make? Do people still want an EO tutorial? I'm sure I could make a really nice one that I won't be embarrassed to look back on and covers everything in <4 mins.
