Buying my first DIY Cube

[mike]

Hi guys! Have been playing with the rubik's cube for three months. Just got under a minute recently. I have been thinking of getting DIY cube but i have no idea which one to buy. Some say that DIY (B) is the best as the screws don't break as easily as DIY (a). Which cube should i buy? I have searched and found that www.cube4you.com is the best place to buy DIY cubes.

I prefer rubiks.com DIY's, but I find cubeforyou pretty good/cheap.

I think it's the best to buy just from all just one to experiment.

first i got two diy cubes from rubiks.com and really liked them. later on i placed an order at cube4you. he has a lot of different cubes not only in quality but also in color and other stuff. i now use a withe diy cube from cube4you and it runes much better then the one from rubik's.

Hey guys,

I'm also looking for a new cube. Could you guys give links to cube you guys recommend (I'm assuming cube4you) as I'm a bit confused about what I am supposed to look for. For example what is (a), (B) and ©?

THanks

a) type is the best type, they have long screws.
B) type is the worst (cheapest) type and come already assembled and have bad screws and I'm not sure but they say also a bad core.
c) type is inbetween I think.

Oh and you see somewhere that they sell loose screws, those are the a type ones

If I were to buy a DIY white cube from cube4you, is this the one you guys would recommend? http://www.cube4you.com/27_White-DIYKit-3x3x3-(a).html

i recently ordered that white cube, and also a black one, theyre great, once lubed you can tune it to perfection.

i got the glow in the dark one. this one is the smoothest running cube that i personally own or have ever cubed with. i dont know if the material is the reason why, it has not much friction or that i just good lucky with the cube. i also cant find the dust stuff on the inner sides of the cube (which usually slows it down).

Cube4you has the best cubes I've ever tried. Admittedly, I've only tried the rubik's DIY's and the 25th anny ones, but the cube4you ones are better.
