Finally!!

[Inusagi]

I have finally done a sub 13 solve because of the CUBELUBE.

Questions:
1.How long do the cubelube last?
2.Is there a cube that is so good that it doesn't need lube? And which cube is best? (3x3x3).
3.The centers of my yellow DIY kit is always falling out. I putted some taip in it, and it works. Can I use this cube in a official compitition?

No one knows?

OK, I'll guess I'll answer.

1. It lasts as long as you want it to. When I use cubelube, it feel amazing right away, but then I don't lube it until I think I need to again. It's usually at least a month. Also, you only need like 6 drops to make it perfect. Don't go wasting it.
2. No...
3. Yeah, you can do whatever you want to your cube, as long as it doesn't modify the puzzle's movement. You should read the WCA regulations if you have questions on legality.

It helped a lot.. but which cube is the best one for speedcubing (althuogh you nedd to lube it) 3x3x3?

Some would say that either a Rubik brand DIY or a Chinese DIY is the best. It depends on preference.

can anyone compare the cubelube and CRC silicone? is any of them better than another, or are they about the same?

Drawing from personal experience, I would say that cubelube is smoother than CRC. I prefer CRC over cubelube. I wouldn't say it is better. Cubelube makes the cube seem softer.

Which cube is Nakajima using??

Questions:

2.Is there a cube that is so good that it doesn't need lube?

Actually, After receiving the Blue Diy cube from Cube4you, I can tell you that that cube is soo good that you don't need to lube it. Ask anyone on the Cube4you forum. The blue diy is great without lube!

I like cubelube's feel a little better, but I don't like applying it.
CRC is good, but I have to lube often, but I would say the effect is better.

Overall, I think CRC is more effective.

The problem is: that I can't buy items from cube4you. The site is to bad

 

[Tomarse]

Cubelube sucked arse for me, really bad, didnt help at all

I believe PuzzleProz sells the same cubes as cube4you. He sells his on eBay so the site doesn't suck. The cubes are more expensive, but US shipping is way cheaper, so they come out cheaper overall. I have one PuzzleProz and one Rubik's DIY and personally, I think the PuzzleProz is far superior.

I wrote a fairly detailed comparison on his site. http://puzzleproz.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=286&sid=99d5dc8bd737f71b89112898a325bf4d

I tried to be unbiased and I have no affiliation with him or his site, just a satisfied customer.

I were at a competition for a while ago, and the problem was that my yellow diy kit from puzzleproz was too hard compared to the other competitors, altuogh they had a white diy kit...

Yu Nakajima uses a store bought.

Does it means that he bought a normal rubik's cube from a store?

Sure does.

I think Japanese store boughts are different. But, none-the-less, he uses one right out of a package.

That's not my style.. Those cube I buy from the package, is always bad for some reasons. Always unlucky with that...
