Cubicle Labs Xinghen M Gummy and slow

[Cameron Ray]

I have a Cubicle Labs Xinghen M with my custom sticker shades and white plastic. But for some reason, the cube seems extremely gummy and quite slow. I don't know what I should do to the puzzle. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

100-200 solves.

There are a few possibility's as to why your cube feels gummy and slow.
(1) If you just received it recently brand new then you are going to have to do quite a few solves to brake in the lube and the cube, for the most part every cube is different in how many solves it need to brake in, but with a 2x2 I would recommend 100 solves before you like the feel better.
(2) If you have already done 100 solves and it still feels gummy then what I would do is, dissemble the cube entirely, clean off all the pieces and core then resemble it with adding some lube to the core and screws, and a little to the pieces. Once you have it assembled add as much lube as you desire (start with a small amount and add more as you please) then do several solves to brake in the newly lubed cube.

I had the same problem, for me I would put 1 drop of DNM, then do 200-300 solves. So basically what they said up there lol:rolleyes:
