How do I fix the Guhung popping issues?

[emolover]

Is there any way I can fix the popping on the Guhung? Every other solve I do it pops. The tensions are set really tight, it cant even cut a full cubie any more, so tightening it would just make it not speed solvable.

Is there a way? :confused:

I have the same problem

I have the same problem

Dont you just hate it when you have an awsome solve, you finish F2L in 6 sec and you about to get your best time ever then on a U perm it pops...

My Guhong pops too. I'll probably just buy a Dayan 5, they aren't supposed to pop.

I don't know how tight or loose you have yours, but mine is fairly loose and doesn't pop nearly as often as yours. i could probably fix my popping issue if I just tightened it up a bit, but I'd rather just get used to having a loose cube.

If yours is so tight you can barely cut corners with it, it's probably too tight. Try loosening it half a turn on all sides and lubing it up nice, preferably with shock oil instead of a spray silicon.

Mine rarely ever does at all, and it is fairly loose. I used someone's Guhong at a competition and his was super tight and still popped. No idea why it happens.

It used to happen to me, then I tightened it until you could barely cut a full cubie (Which is fine by me) and it never pops.

I can cut 45degs with all my GuHongs and they never pop. Maybe your tensions aren't equal.

I've tightened mine until it can fairly easily cut line to line (a full cubie) and it rarely pops. I have to handle it pretty roughly for an edge to pop out.

Is it a DIY or one that is already assembled that might be the problem

 

[nat4sail]

i have a video of a mod i did to my lingyun that virtually eliminated all of my popping issues. i hope it helps~

Fix the tensions. Mine NEVER pops. Unless I loosen it significantly.

Mine cuts a full cubie and it has never pop in 3 months. Did you modify yours? Sanding?

 

[ruff48]

Mine never pops and I even modded it by sanding all the pieces a bit as well as by doing the 48 point edge mod.

maybe check if the kube has dried out, mine started popping like crazy at a time, and I though it was turning bad, so I lubed it again and it jumped back to its normal performance, also check the screws if they're black or not, I changed screws between my colored and black guhong, since the colored had the new screws and spring set, which is silver colored, and it turned better than my black one, I tried changing the core, springs and screws between them, and the black one got better, but not as good as the colored was...

why do the illegal cube have to be the best one? >.<

 

[MaeLSTRoM]

It's not illegal anymore...

 

[Bapao]

The colored cubes are legal now? We are talking about the ones molded in six colors right?

 

[ManSpider]

What?.

the colored guhong was illegal in comp last time I checked, since the BL and BR edges can be seen when doing a U turn, along with other similar things too, so I dont think they're legal....

 

[Bapao]

What?.

You know, stickerless cubes desu ne?
