🇮🇳 भारत (Bharat)

Hi Suhas,
I am from Chandigarh and am also looking for some speedcubers, but sadly there doesn't seem to be any. I will try to find out anyway.
btw i found out that u can use Waxpol Liquid Silicone Polish as a lube, it really speeded up my Rubik's brand cube.

hi, i am a cuber from delhi. i just went to my 1st official competition and the results are in my signature. my 3x3 f2l was using lbl method, with a few secret mods that i'll share ONLY with a person sub 15 . haha. anyway, you can order silicone spray or maru from fasttech and lubix from lubixcube.com instead of looking in any random store.
 
Speedcubing group in New Delhi, India

I was wondering if anyone had a cubing group in new delhi. if there isn't, us guys should make one.
btw, i do know some guys who could do this: Ayush Kumar or " ilikecubing " on the forum (sq1 single nar holder ) and Akash Rupela ( 3x3 single, 5x5 single and average, 7x7 single and average and the nar holder of some other events ). Also, Rohan Chanana could make one as he was the organiser of delhi summer open 2013.

I haven't seen too many Indian cubers on this forum and wanted to know how many there were... I wanted to find people from Bangalore, in particular... I had a couple of questions:
1) Where are cubing competitions held in India and when are they held?
2) Has anybody had any shipping problems with DIYs from C4Y or 9spuzzles because of customs or any other reason?
3) Where can I find silicone spray in bangalore? I searched in about 6 hardware stores and they didn't have the slightest clue about it...

Thanks

Hey Suhas.
As others have suggested ,you can keep visiting worldcubeassociation.org to know if any competitions are there in Bangalore.
And we have two national websites for buying cubes and also your Spray
1) thinkntwist.com
2) shop.scmu.in

and ya i used to live in Bangalore long ago :) but now in goa.............
 
I am an Indian. You can find the official competitions at http://www.worldcubeassociation.org/index.php. You can order DIY's from Cube4you
but the shipping charge is little expensive. I don't know where we can get sillicone sprays in bangalore but you can order it from speedcubeshop.com. The best sillicone lubricant is Traaxas it works well with cubes. Go to bestspeedcube.com and find the choice of yours.

Hope this helped
 
OP created this thread over 4 years ago...he got his answers a long time ago, and has even attended a comp in Mumbai. AFAIK he doesn't cube much anymore.
For Indians interested in a group, we have a group on fb called "Speedcubing India Unlimited" which is pretty active.
 
Cubers in India [New!]

I know there is a thread for India but that was made 3 years ago. So thought I would make a new one. A lot of cubers in India ask 1) " Where do you get your cubes ? Are there any Indian cube stores ? " , 2) " Which is the best cube ? ", 3) "Where are the competitions held?" .Here are the answers :

1) I only know two Indian cube stores : http://www.thinkntwist.com/
http://shop.scmu.in/
You can also shop from Ebay.in but its damn costly. For example , Dayan Zhanchi stickerless on Ebay : about Rs.2000
Dayan Zhanchi stickerless on think n twist : Rs.850:cool:
I don't believe in foreign cube stores. My friend made a purchase of $30 [ 2 cubes and a set of stickers from www.spe*****.com[I cant mention the name) ] and its been a year and it hasn't arrived. If you have any experiences to share please do so and if you know any Indian cube stores please do mention their web address.

2) The best cube actually depends on you. Every one have different styles, opinions etc. Its more like this - I like Shengshou ,you might not , you like Zhanchi , I might not. So before you get a cube think you better read a review on it to see if it suits you.:tu

3) For that this website will help you https://www.worldcubeassociation.org/results/competitions.php . All you have to do is set the region to India and press list.

Any more :fp questions, please ask.

Happy Cubing​
 
For all the questions above, visit https://www.facebook.com/groups/cubingindia/

nuff said, the faq and the docs there are excellent

as for not trusting foreign sites, I was one among the first to order from the then-shady zcube.cn and I got my order perfectly, so meh
also if you want people not to order from the particular site you mentioned why don't you tell us the site, so we can be careful

edit: rs 850 for a stickerless zhanchi is too much

It's 1199 in eBay.in with shipping. Foreign stores are also good if you have a credit card to buy .
 
hey there! i'm from bangalore too.. and my personal best in 3x3 is 27.27 second
i've been cubing for 1 year now
i can solve 2x2, 3x3, 4x4, 5x5, gears cube, 3x3 blind folded and 3x3 single handed
 
Hey Suhas,

There is one coming up in January, 2014 at Mumbai. SCMU is the event's name. You maybe can attend it..
I am from Mysore, and even i dont know about silicone spray though.
As for ordering, I think you can order from shop.scmu.in, which is an Indian store. They have most of the important cubes. However, i havent even received my first order from other stores like Lightake :(
 
Hey! I am Faraz Arif, also from Chandigarh. Ummm... you can e-mail me at this id - [email protected] .
I''m new to speedcubing, and my PB is 44.76s. I shall join my first official tournament in January 2014 - SCMU Mumbai 2014. I'm 14 years old, and would certainly love to learn some speedcubing techniques from you ( or any other source possible ). Oh and just for the fact, I'm not on Facebook.
Thanks,
Faraz Arif

Hi,
I am a speedcuber from India with an average of 40 seconds and personal best 32 seconds on a storebought Rubik's brand cube. I wanted to know how many Indians have ordered cubes online and how it was delivered to your house. Also where are competitions held in India?

I'm an Indian speedcuber, too. I average around 25 seconds, and my personal best is 17 seconds.

I order from the SCMU store, and I find their services really good. You might want to try there.

And for upcoming competitions, check here: https://www.worldcubeassociation.org/results/competitions.php
