A Few Questions for F-II users.

1. What do you lubricate your F-II with.
- CRC heavy duty silicone

2. How long have you had your F-II?
- ~4 months

3. Have you experienced: "decay", "degrading", or "improvement"?
- During the one month of using it, improvement was apparent. Now, it's just too loose (even after tightening), overshoots, locks up. Not that great.

4. What colour(s) is your main F-II?
- Black with cubesmith bright set that is too big for the bubbly pieces.

5. Any miscellaneous information about your cube?
- It will never be as good as QQ's. His F-IIs are ridiculous amazing. Also, I need to be in the mood to use this cube. Otherwise it just makes me angry. A-V often trumps it for me.
 
1. I lube my FII with 10 wt shock oil. I have used CRC and jigaloo in the past. it's a totally different cube with CRC than it is with shock oil.
2. I got my first one maybe 6 months ago
3. after a bunch of use it gets better IMHO. other cubes with rounded corners like the F or CII degrade to the point of not being usefull. the FII seems to stay great after thousands of solves.
4. once you go black, you will continue to use black

new questions:
What replacement stickers work best?
has anyone worn their FII out yet? I use mine constantly and it's not getting worse. if yours is try cleaning it and relubing it.


one of the amazing things abotuy the FII is that it's great for a beginner as wel as an expert. low lock ups, low pops, fast cuts corners well. aso you can get it preassembled and lubed. I recommend this to people as a first cube.

3. Have you experienced: "decay", "degrading", or "improvement"?
No, it remains relatively the same, although my cube has gone through several major drops and the caps have all fallen out and a different person put them back so i had to drop it from heights at which the caps would come off, you would be better off just putting the caps on with clear nail polish

4. What colour(s) is your main F-II?
Black

5. Any miscellaneous information about your cube?
I havnt adjusted the tension, although F-II seems to gather cube dust faster then my older cubes.


The problem i have with the F-II, is that the rounded corners make stickers peel off, i wonder if i can buy F-II replacement stickers

1. It comes prelubed. I lubed it again with Lubrimatic Silicone Spray
2. 2.5 weeks
3. No
4. I replaced it with cubesmith fluorescents. The new stickers don't fit very well. Black plastic.
5. A really great cube. Cuts corners very well, and is very fast. Does not pop. Is my main speed cube. You might want to try glueing the external caps down.
 
1. What do you lubricate your F-II with.
Some weird goop my dad gave me when I asked for silicone. Whatever it is, it works nice. The writing is all worn off of it so I can't tell what it is.

2. How long have you had your F-II?
3 months and a week

3. Have you experienced: "decay", "degrading", or "improvement"?
not a bit

4. What color(s) is your main F-II?
black, standard color scheme

5. Any miscellaneous information about your cube?
Very light, very fast. Best cube I've played with. The caps on the outside were really annoying and kept falling out but I superglued most of them in so it's all good now. Also, I set a pb a5 the day after I got it.
 
Since the thread is already here...What lube will make the type F-II faster, cuz honestly jig a loo just slowed my type F-II down is CRC gonna make it faster? Or have the same effect as jig a loo? And yes I do clean my cube regularly

If you want it to be faster the lower the wt. the better i put 40wt in and my cube feels really buttery.

5. Any miscellaneous information about your cube?
Got my FII the same time I got a CII and I liked the C more so gave FII to GF to look after as an alternative to her storeboughts. Sometimes use it and thinking of giving her the C to look after instead =D. Red/Orange look very similar on the white but I gave her some of the free darker stickers I got with C4Y order and it's much better now. Fantastic unlubed but I want to try putting some silicone in it but one of GFs storeboughts went bad after being siliconed (had 6 or so that reacted fine to it before then) and now she is anti (cube) lube. Edge caps do come off a lot but blutac fixed that a little :P
