Howdy folks,
How often do you guys re-lube pieces and/or core?
I have a Guhong 2 which I've been using nearly every day for 6 months. It's lubed with Lubicle which, from previous discussions here with windhero, I gather is probably slightly heavier than Lubix, which is (again probably) ~43k. After about 4 months (let's say 10k solves) I cleaned it, including core, and relubed. Occasionally, maybe every 4/5k solves, I put a drop of lube on the pieces and work in.
I have a Zhanchi which is pretty new, and was lubed with Traxaas 50k and Maru when bought. I had to retension it, and noticed that the springs had no lube on them, so added a drop of Lubicle in my favoured way to the core, and a drop to the edges for lolz.
Thing is, it now feels like the Zhanchi needs re-lubing, and the lube's only been on there maybe 800-1000 solves.
How often do people generally re-lube their cubes, in terms of # solves, rather than time (which would probably be pretty arbitrary!). I guess this is really 2 separate questions - how often do you apply a little lube to your pieces; how often do you disassemble and relube the core?
Bearing in mind I'm using c.45k for both core and pieces.
Thanks!
