Dayan Zhanchi Explodes?! Help Please

[Miles95]

I had the same problem with my lunhui i still do on occasion, to fix it i had my anchors in and tighted the cube then lubed it with shock oil (lube provided by my friend) and now the cube is better than ever and dropped my average by a second within the day

Or possibly a fourth option like a mod or someone telling me how tight they have their cube....

Well, a mod would be to put the anchors, in this case ;-)

The anchors are the reason why it is exploding. The same thing happened with the LunHui. The anchors are supposed to make it very hard to take out one edge (and this works). However, whenever the cube DOES pop, the anchors pull out the corners with them, so the cube explodes. I had the same problem with my LunHui, which is why I don't have it anymore.

You can try to take the anchors out, but then I'm not sure if edges would pop more. Either that or just try to be careful when using the cube.

You HAVE to tighten this cube. It will only explode if it's loose. Just because it has the extra anti pop mech, doesn't mean you can just make it so loose it'll fall apart. I had this problem at what I thought was a reasonable tension, but HAD to tighten it, and once I did, the cube still felt great and had no more pops.

What happens if you take it off does it just pop easily or what?

I use mine without the anchors and it does not pop at all.

 

[Jostle]

I use mine with them and it doesn't pop at all.

Anchors are only for reducing pops?

Anchors are only for reducing pops?

Yes. But as said, I don't need mine as it doesn't pop without them as well.
