If you get a new cube and don't lube it will it get progressively harder to turn?

No

No, it will get easier because you will have broken it in more.

Yeah but the plastic dust produced may increase friction. That's what happened to my 3 year old zhanchi.

Does anybody do cross on left, rotate, and then solve the F2L pairs on the bottom?

no but that is interesting, some times I solve it on the F face (front) just because that's how it happens.

I also do that and end with a wide move to put it on the bottom, I reconstructed some of Faz's solves and he does the same thing.

My weilong is making a ton of noise (I can hear one of the side's springs going nuts...). I've already lubed all the metal hardware in the thing. Any solutions or diagnoses to my problem?

Thanks in advance

only thing i can think about is that the spring is not put in roght or it is bended or something

I would like somebody to create a thread of the comparison of pictures of pieces from diverse 3x3 speed cubes to compare them and to justify the turning performances of the respective cubes. Someone with a lot of speedcubes (not me I have like 4) could start the thread and others could add pictures to expand the comparison. I came up with this idea after seeing on one thread a request for a piece comparison between the MoYu HuanYing and the MoYu LiYing.

In the hardware sub-forum please

bumped my own post from 5 days ago, could someone answer???

If I start OH with left hand, should I make R moves with a pinky or ring finger?

Do whatever that works for you.

Do whatever that works for you.

Pinky is better as you can then do doubleflicks with the ring finger

Is the blue stickered dayan zhanchi competition legal?

i have a blue dayan zhanchi(stickered) and was wondering if it is comp. legal. the blue stickers looks just like the color of the cube, so idk. but it is the best cube i have ever had. i had the dayan zhanchi stickerless and weilong 2 but this one does not pop and cuts 45 degree angles. i want to know if this is competition legal. ty u all so much!

Yes, it's competition legal.

 

[Cubesensei]

ty so much. i thought that since the blue stickers blend right into the blue cube, i thought it wasnt comp. legal

The reason for stickerless being illegal in competition is because the plastic has all 6 colors, so when you turn the cube, you can see the color of pieces you wouldn't normally see. In your case, everything is blue, so you don't get any clues about other pieces as you turn.

Don't forget, many people have white cubes with white stickers.

Depends on the case. Google "coll recognition"

 

[Cubesensei]

well, that explains. ty
