Competition Cube 'Loosening'

[camcuber]

I have Caltech Winter 2011 coming up next weekend and I realized that after a break from cubing that it has loosened itself up drastically. The screws themselves haven't loosened but the cube feels extremely fast and uncontrollable. Has this happened to anyone else? Any tips on fixing it? I thought about trying to over lube it with shock oil but I have had experiences in the past with it actually doing the opposite of how I intended...

Out of curiosity, what's the cube type? Guhong? Lubix Elite?

Those are the same cubes..

I assume you're talking about a guhong. Just replace the core and screw/springs. I have C4U hardware in mine.

I'll answer that, yes from watch his video his main 3x3x3 is a Guhong.

Those are the same cubes..

Unless there was a core change on his ELITE.

 

[anuradha]

Those are the same cubes..

I mean, is it a plain Guhong? Or with the mods used in the Lubix Ultimate? Or with the the Lubix Elite mods?

When checking out camcuber's video comparing his custom Guhong, Lubix Ultimate and Lubix Elite, I think he likes his Guhong best. Or is it?

 

[EricReese]

Unless there was a core change on his ELITE.

In which he had never specified.. Either way, screws should not be loosening themselves.

Yes the cube was a Guhong, just a guhong. I'll try to do the hardware swap after the comp to ensure that I don't make anything worse and if I can't use the cube i'll go with my Memory.

Why would you pass up your Lubix Ultimate or ELITE for a Haiyan Memory?

 

[Tall5001]

Because the Haiyan Memory is reliable fast and always a good cube!

Dan, you say that as if the Haiyan Memory isn't an amazing cube.

I think that it is an amazing cube, but I also think the Lubix Ultimate is better, having tried both.

It's called preference.

Because they both tend to pop.

Did you post this to try to show that they don't pop?
Because they popped in that video.
