Got this cube from cubezz. Out of the box it was really nice, which caught me off guard. I bought it with a sticker less aolong, which was terrible out of the box (my other aolong was my main). It's smooth, fast and doesn't lock up. I can't say enough about it at this point. It's easily...

I will second the 4lll recommendation. In hindsight, there was really no need for me to find myself until I learned 4lll and got decent at f2l. I enjoy figuring things out so I learned f2l intuitively, and an still learning things. I know all the PLLs now but really my f2l is where I either...

Mine popped rarely, but when it did it was 3 pieces flying. My solution was using cx3 soft springs and tightening to the point where the centers simply won't allow me to pull 3 pieces out. It sounds weird but the setting seems to be right for me and it hasn't popped since. I use the same...

I'm switching back and forth between a gans 357 with 11mm springs and a hualong with cx3 soft springs. I'm leaning towards the hualong though. I've also got an aolong v2, weilong v2, 2 55mm zhanchis (one heavily modded, one stock), a guhong, sulong, yulong, guanlong, and even a shengshou cheapo...

When all else fails start from scratch. My advice is to take the cube apart, wrote everything down thoroughly to remove all lube. Then put a anal amount of lube under the spring washers in the centers. Assemble with no lube. The stock tensions have about 4mm of the plastic core sticking out past...

My Huanlong arrived from Cubezz today! Out of the box (my box had "Huanlong" printed on it btw) it actually turns really nice, tensions are decent (though I seem to prefer looser tension lately). So far it is exactly as described, scratchy at first but that is slowly going away. The corner...

I got my aolong v2 about a month ago, after starting with a Guhong V1(which I added torpedoes to only recently), going to a Yulong for a while, then a Weilong for a while, then got a 55mm Zhanchi, Gans and the aolong all about the same time (as gifts). Sorry for the background, just gives an...

My Weilong, which I have had for a week, had a lot of spring noise even after properly lubing the core. Today I took it back apart and used the smallest dremel bit I have to very carefully round the ends of the wire that makes the spring. I figured that maybe, for one reason or another, that...

New member here. Been speed solving for about 3 months. I learned the beginner method about 5 years ago and then left it on the shelf (and forgot it). Picked it back up a while back and am now hooked. I have a guhong v1, yulong stickerless, thanking black and whiteand an original rubiks...

I am new to the forum and pretty new to speed solving. I ordered a white guanlong on ebay because of the price and the generally good reviews it gets for new to intermediate solvers. I then ordered a black one again because of the price and I thought I could just leave it at work. For...
