Nice Marcel! You're not the only one doing 4x4; I've broken single, Ao5 and Ao12 PB's with my new Weisu (my 4x4 PB's are in my signature). That cube is awesome! Just need a sub 1:30 Ao12 (should be in my grasp) and I'll learn 32223 pairing; my edges are terrible. My splits for Redux are around 15/50/30.

And you use Yau or Hoya? Good stuff man!

What are you using for edge pairing currently? Maybe learning 32223 is what will get you sub-1:30. Marcel, you did that sub-2 average with Hoya, right? I didn't like Yau last 4 centers until I learned half centers and then it didn't bother me anymore but I think my 3 cross edges is what could use the most work right now.

Weird thing is I haven't done much cubing for the last week because busy with Christmas things.

Edit: AGGHGHHHH!!!! I was just trying to lube in Weisu by just pulling apart the pieces a bit (not disassembly) and discovered that one of the small internal pieces is missing!!! I'm not sure why that is... I don't know if it was always missing or if it's recent. I kind of think it didn't come with the missing part because I think one time during an internal pop I didn't find where it came from until the last edge (12th try). So... likely one of my kids was playing with my cube and popped it but now I'll never be able to find that piece! Arrrghhh!!!!! It still turns ok but I'm sure it would be better without the missing piece. This is really really annoying!!

I use HoYa now and will stick with that. Love it. Yau centers where no problem for me. I also used half centers (bars). It is just that Hoya has more freedom to start with a any color (except yellow). I hope you will find your missing piece. or else order a spare part at the Cubicle.

I use build rings; I'll see if I can find the video tutorial later.

Could it have popped out in the middle of a solve; just the internal? That happened to me once; it just shot up.

Soon as I found out the part was missing I went to TheCubicle to check how much it would cost me to get a replacement... over $6 (including the shipping cost).

I've had internal pops several times already but I always know when it does pop. I went on a search and retrieve this morning. Luckily I found the missing piece in the babies' room. Whew! What a relief!

Nice!! It always drives me crazy when I loose something. After Christmass diner (we thought) my 11 year old son had lost his retainer.. We searched for 24 hours to finally find it in his bed. (Must have fallen out of his mouth during sleeping)

Yeah, me too. Sometimes even if the thing that I lost isn't very important it irks me anyway because of the plain fact that something that was there seemingly disappeared and it seems so illogical and impossible that it bugs me crazy. Haha... silly random thought... you know those keychain things where if you whistle it will beep or make some sound to help you find where you lost your keys? Stick one of those devices in your cubes...
 
I lost my Zhanchi. :(
But my SuLong that I got from wallbuys makes up for that. It's pretty awesome.
I'm actually quite surprised, I thought it would be pretty slow by what others have said. But it's not, it's faster than my Fangshi. Guess I won't be getting a Weilong for a while, until I get bored of this one.

Wow, you must have a very fast SuLong or a really slow ShuangRen ;) My ShuangRens are so much faster. ;) But SuLong is nice he?
