AhsanDaCuber125’s Progression Thread // ANOTHER COMP??? // Practice Fall 2024

lol my dad said I can only make a purchase until I get my Debit card, now that’s some time to wait.
However, I need help, I lubed my QiYi MS and M Pro 4x4 a few weeks ago, and the lube spilled on it, and now it’s very oily, and no matter how many times I try to rub it off, it won’t work.

Help?

have you tried spraying rubbing alcohol while using a towel?

If it was a 3x3, I would take it apart, soak every piece, wipe each piece down, and put it together, but from my understanding, this is two 4x4s, and my first time fixing a 4x4 took me 5 hours. If your willing to spend like 10 hours to get rid of some oil, go for it, but otherwise idk. Also there's a high chance I'm just stupid and it'll probably take you like an hour or so.

Do whatever you want with this rant information

Yoooo chat I found a comp. It’s on December 14th, and it’s close to me. And I’m competing in 2x2, 3x3, 4x4, Pyra and Skewb.

These are cubes that I’m trying to get:
X-Man Tornado V4 Flagship
QiYi M Pro 2x2
MoYu MeiLong 4x4 (backup)
and the MoYu Skewb

Any thoughts?

What cubes are these replacing? My only suggestion is to consider the Aosu v7 single track.

Have you tried it?
So the V4 will replace my RS3M v5 BC
My MoYu Skewb will be replacing my GAN Skewb, which had some problems
I haven’t decided on 4x4 or 2x2 yet, that’s a question.
But my QiYi M Pro 4x4 has been feeling very oily lately, and no matter how many times I try to rub it off, it won’t work.

 

[Fred]

No, I've just been watching reviews. Cuboss loves the single track, and I think it should be a rather cheap upgrade from the Meilong. Also this hardware guide recommends it based on what they've heard.

I say get the Aosu v7 single track because it seems safer than the meilong 4x4 (trust me if you get the non-magnetic one you will have a bad time)

 

[Exmestify]

wut 2x2 do u have rn?

 

[yes cubing]

What kind of moyu skewb is it? I find with the right setup, the gan skewb is 10x better than the RS, at least in my opinion. If I were to switch from a gan to the rs, it would feel like a downgrade.

Actually, I changed my mind.
I’m deciding between the AoSu V7 single track, which is $20, and the VINCUBE 4x4 UV coated one, which is $21.
I have a feeling the vincube is better…

I’m trying to get a MoYu RS standard, I have the GAN standard, which absolutely sucks IMO, and many people prefer the RS, so… yeah

The reason my GAN skewb sucks is that since I ran out of lube, it’s been performing bad, and it also keeps popping when I finish a solve.

 

[yes cubing]

The QiYi MP.


It’s a MoYu RS standard, I have the GAN standard, which absolutely sucks IMO, and many people prefer the RS, so… yeah

yeah my rs is probably just bad cuz it's like 2 years old or something

 

[CubeLite]

Who said that the RS is better than GAN, look at all the top solves, they used the GAN, If your is bad, then try to give it a really good clean and lube it, it was the same for me, and I bought the GAN enhaced, since the standard that I had was completly dirty, and even after cleaning it was bad

I’m saying that the Standard GAN is kinda bad, it only has 8 magnets, and since I’m not a skewb grinder, I think the RS is fine for me.

oh no a one letter typo that I can definitely read but I'm gonna pretend I have no clue what it is

 

[AhsanDaCuber125]

After I get home, I'm actually gonna start the grind. I haven't been doing 4x4, and it's on my comp, and I'm literally sub-3:40.
And also I have to start 5x5 l, it's been still for some time.
