So until now I've never actually set-up a cube properly, I've always just syringed some Cubicle #2 in the gaps between the pieces and called it good.
Today I disassembled my mini Weilong, learned how to actually lube and tension a cube, and promptly broke my pb ao100.
Needless to say, proper lubing will now be a thing for me :P

Set up my Weilong V2 as well and got a pb ao5 (12.98).
 
PB average of 5 on 4x4... by a lot. I tried to go for the average of 12, but I got nervous and failed badly... I got a counting 50 because I DNF'd a solve.

Average: 37.41

I'd judge based of something like an ao100, consider how close your ao12 is to your ao5, it might be very lucky.
1- I said likely
2- Because of time, I do avgs of 50, and my last one was sub 17
3- I base this theory off of other factors as well, such as consistent sub 16 avg of 12s
Simple claim, but oh well

This the tutorial I used, it's by JRCuber. Gans is a little different because of the octo core or whatever it's called; basically take it apart, lube an axle, put the center piece on, put a drop of lube on the washer, put the washer on, then screw on the little nut and repeat for the other centers. Pieces are exactly the same as in the tutorial.
 
broke my pb averages of 100, 50 and 12 today my ao100 was 12.88 and I just got a 12.56 today which is really weird since I havent been practicing
 
Exams ended today, and it looks like I have lots to work on for the rest of the year. I also realised that my cross sucks...
