Hi guys,
I would like to buy either the “ Dayan Zhan Chi Silk “ or the “ OH Zahn Chi “ from thecubicle.us .
Which one should I get if I want a really smooth cube for both 2H and OH solving?
Thanks!

I would recommend a Guhong 2, although I doubt you'll get any cube under $10 including shipping...

dayan guhong v2 will be a very good choice for you, but i don't think you need to get a speedcube yet cause your time is still over a minute(this is just my opinion, please don't mind)

Dealmaz has a few, I bought my SS 4x4 v3 for only $8.59, including shipping.

If only their site wasn't down, but I just checked on the invoice

Hi there,

I'm sorry to break this too you, but it is amlost impossible to find a cube with the specs you described for under $10 dollars. Most "stock" cubes are around 12- 18 dollars. But good luck.

Dayan guhong is one of the best cubes out there

They also have Dayan lingyun v2 on sale for 8,69$ http://www.greatsku.com/wholesale/dayan3-lingyun-3x3x3-magic-cube-diy-assembled-kit-white.html

I'm planning to get a shengshou 5x5, but have heard stories of broken cores...
What do you think I should do?

i've never had any troubles with mine. I would just get one.

 

[iCube4fun]

i've never had any troubles with mine. I would just get one.

Because there is a new model for the core and people who bought the Shengshou with the newer core noticed it was broken... search shengshou 5x5 core and see what comes up

I know he was, it is usually cheaper than a 4x4, so.

http://www.amazon.com/Dayan-GuHong-Speed-6-Color-Stickerless/dp/B00419T56Q/ref=lh_ni_t Im thinking of getting this one. I haven't solved rubik's cube in awhile but I get still confidently get sub 25 and rarely sub 20. So I'm going for sub 15 by end of summer. Would this be a good cube to practice speed solving with?? I haven't kept myself updated so starting out fresh again.

yeah that cube is fine the only bad thing is it's not allowed in competition.

I can't decide what cube should i get (again). I tried F II and i love it but one thing i don't like is when it's lock up a little so i use it as my main OH cube. But for my 2H cube i can't decide whether should i get guhong v2 or a lingyun v2. Please help i can get only 1 cube
(I used to use a zhanchi as my main but i don't like it because of the clikyness of it but i like a guhong 1 it too slow and crappy now)

I like the GuHong II, it's nice and smooth out of the box, and it gets fast after it's been tensioned and lubed. LingYun II on the other hand locks up a little bit and pops a heap. But i would say it's faster by a fair bit.

Just my two cents. The choice is up to you

 

[balloon6610]

Thanks a lot Then my choice would be a guhong II then because i love the smooth cube and ok speed and i hate lock up
