You can try my 55 at the meet. And I think coolster has a 50 mm. You're choice.
why?

Depends on how mutch money you have to spend. There all good puzzles if you have enough money for one of these puzzles then try to see if you can buy one or more of them.

You can't? Darn. Idk. Idk. If you have a lingyun it is 55 mm. Idk. I think 50 seems pretty small. Same size as a 2x2.

I have been terribly inactive in the cubing community for a while, but I think I've got a good grasp on what's going on hardware wise. Anyway, I still don't have a Square-1, and there seems to be a few new ones on the market since the last time I was thinking about buying one, so I just wanted to check which Square-1 you would recommend out of the currently available ones.

If you dont want lock-ups, and you do want 50 degree CC-ing, and good turning; get a Zhanchi. Lube it. Done.

Hello,
So I got dayan 2x2 and received it ,played with it for like 5 minutes and then I wanted to lube the core and tension it so I took like 2 pieces out ,lubed it and then i put them back together but the cube stopped working ..I could move the upper layer at all. So , I disassembled the cube tensioned it but found out that it is possible to put it back together.I just can seem to
insert all edges in..And I know that it uses one lock mechanism, I used a tutorial but I when I finally manage to insert the first piece in , I cant insert any more edges because It will simply force the other edges out of the cube. any ideas ?

Loosen your tensions first. AND, make sure you have an anchor corner placed first. The edge pieces for it will look a little different.

I recently gave my 2x2 to someone at school, and when I got it back (someone different gave it back to me two weeks later) half the stickers had been taken off and the ones that were left were in very bad condition. I'm going to get a new 2x2; however, I don't know much about different 2x2s. Is there one that is quite fast (but not too fast), and cuts corners well?

Well there are 2 good 2x2 out right now they are the WitTwo V1 and the Dayan 2x2. But there are the MoYu and the Fangshi 2x2 coming soon.

Make him pay for the new stickers.

Just get a wittwo v1.. Or new stickers.

But I don't know who did it. I could get new stickers... but that 2x2 was really bad and I need an excuse to get a new one. Is there a good place to get either of them in the UK? UKCubeStore looks like it has the cheapest Dayan, but I can't find a good place to get the WitTwo, except Amazon.

Oh I see. I would do the same thing lol so yeah I got my wittwo off amazon. It's fine, it's actually from the shop on this site.

What are the pros and cons of the MF8 Square-1 ??

 

[Vanism]

Ok so my main 2x2 is a wittwo v1 that I modded very well. It's crispy/smooth ( exactly how I like it) and it never pops. Should I buy a dayan 2x2 . Also my wittwo corner cuts and reverse corner cuts amazingly!!!! Is it worth it ( the dayan)?
