My cube was lubed about a month ago. Since then, I haven't cleaned the pieces. Should I? Or will it mess it up? I don't have any lube btw.

What cube is it? If dayan cube then no if A5 or something that does not have a ton of change in performance when differential oil is applied then yes
Does the cube look really dirty? If yes, then clean cube. If no, don't clean cube
And if the cube feels really sluggish/slow, then clean it. If not, don't clean it

Zhanchi, no and no. So no. I won't.
 
Feliks Zemdegs OLLs?

I've seen Feliks Zemdegs PLLs and Youtube vids but are his OLLs posted anywhere?
 
How long does it take to break in a florian/consta modded SS 4x4, and what is good cornercutting on a florian modded 4x4?? I just got my mods done yesterday and thankfully my cube didnt come too loose. The konsta mod worked perfectly, but I don't know about the Florian mod. The cube doesnt corner cut much at all. However, the cube lockups especially from the outer layers. Am I just too sloppy and used to fluid 3x3s?

I didn't do the Florian mod on my 4x4, but it took quite a while to break it in on my 5x5 (300+ solves before I begin to feel improvement). I'd say ~ half a corner piece. If you have a video of its performance I can offer a suggestion.

I don't have one, but have you tried tightening or loosening it?

Made a quick video, the noise on the background in Huoratron :P
EDIT :
This has been solved maybe 10 times.

It looks really nice to be honest, I think you did a good job modding it. I wouldn't worry too much about it, just keep breaking it in and lubing it. The corner cutting is enough, I don't know if it's good for a Florian modded 4x4 or not, but I personally don't need that much. If you want to clean up your turning style, you can try dabbling in bigcubes. Love your stickers btw :)
 
That cube looks awesome! It looks like you did a really good job modding :) Just keep breaking it in! SS v4's become really awesome once broken in, and it shouldn't take too long. I bet the corner cutting will improve too :P

My SS 4x4 v4 cuts just as much (now atleast), if not more. And it's not florian modded.

Alright, thanks a lot! I had no idea what is good corner cutting for anything bigger than a 3x3, which is why I was worried. I'm pretty sure I'm just too sloppy when solving, heck I even can get a ShuangRen to lockup during a G-perm :D The cube does feel really good and I'm so glad I wont have to do that ever again to a 4x4, it was a real pain :D I got some 30k diff oil, 20k shock oil and I have 50k diff oil so I'll be making some optimal mixtures and lubing this guy up (I still can hear the springs tick inside the core, didnt break it apart because cyoubx warned that SS screws are very soft and easily break) :) The stickers are bought from thecubicle.us by the way!


EDIT: WOOO, just made a new PB! 1:12.81 with the edge perm parity! Nice!

Lubricants often come with the funnel-type nozzle tip but they always seem to be sealed right at the tip so no lubricant can come out... Is this supposed to be how they are? Am I supposed to poke a pin through/cut the end off or something? Please help because I'm very confused and also feeling pretty dumb.
 
I can't open center caps in my Fangshi Shuang Ren

Are there any center caps?

Plese make for me a video, how to open them :)
