Oh dear. So your connecting thingy broke off inside the piece. Odd.
Might want to get a replacement piece for that. Just in case.

Same here, I've never ever gotten it to pop. Not even once.

As for my question, what are the time splits for 6x6x6 and 7x7x7 in terms of the reduction method? (centers - edges - 3x3)

It's not that bad the edge still holds together with the other 3 prongs.

For M2 edges and OP corners.

SS with Dayan springs. Florian mod isn't always good.

I don't personally like Dayan springs in the 5x5, and people say my 5x5 is very good. That's up to preference.

Actually, I have two SS (one with dayan springs, one without) and I like them equally. So I would say it actually doesn't make a huge difference.

As I said, up to preference. For you (and probably many others) it doesn't make much of a difference, and for some people (like me) it does. Some people like it better with dayan springs. When I tried Dayan springs in my cube, it became a bit lockier (not because of tensioning, trust me), and it bothered me enough that I had to switch back to the original springs.

I'm attempting to make my 6x6 decent. If I'm really careful breaking it in, will CRC help? Diff oil makes it way too gummy.

the fangshi is the best cube ever

[calvin platt]

now i am not the fastes solver only being 14 and i have only started in june of 2130 n i have a 21 second average but i cant break that 20 second average how do i do it i only no 8 pll cases so should i learn more or should oi learn some oll because i use the beginner method for that?

Try 10K diff Oil and a little Shock Oil. The mixture of this will make the cube accordint to you decent If 10K makes it gummy, then last option is 5K (or some lube especially for big cubes)

I would personally advise against it. Too many bad things could happen.

CRC really helped my old SS 6x6, especially with breaking it in. Unfortunately, it didn't stop me from smashing it with my car.

Does it matter which way the washer faces when it goes into the core?
How will it affect performance?

 

[brian724080]

smashing it with my car.

Does that mean having someone drop it on your car when you're driving or crushing it?
