All SS cubes come with too much lube.

Could have fooled me lol. I never do anything about it, no cleaning, no putting in my own lube....

tighten it? or turn slower, you may be trying to turn a 7x7 as you turn a 3x3.

Well it seems REALLY obvious, but....maybe take the cube apart, clean it out, and re-lube it? Not too hard.....

That sounds like far too much effort to do on a 7x7

he should be glad it's not a 6x6

Maybe. It would take me 7 hours.

You average sub-2 minutes on 7x7? Or, allowing less time for scrambles, you average sub-4?

what did you do to it? cause if you suck at lubing and tensioning your cube might get bad lol. i have experience with that. my cubes are way better when all i do is a little bit of retensioning to make the tensions as even as possible without really changing them too much and just lube the pieces. if i do lube the core and completely retension it then my cubes suck. i think im one of the worst ever when it comes to setup cubes. maybe you are also not too good lol. but you said it came bad out of the box, in that case just retension it and lube it. and maybe change the springs but thats not really needed imo.

No, it would probrobly take a whole day.
