Non-Dayan 50-54 me cubes?

I'm looking for a 50-54 cube to use for OH, but I don't like Dayan zhanchis. Anybody know where to find one?

 

[hamfaceman]

In my opinion, there's no need to use a smaller cube for OH. But nonetheless, you may want to look into the Mini MoYu Aolong or WeiLong. It's slightly bigger than 54 mm, but I'm sure that'll be fine.

The 56 mm YJ Yulong works nicely for me

 

[Kit Clement]

I know the feel. 50mm Zhanchi is my perfect size for OH, and while I really like the zhanchi (you probably just need to break yours in more), I wish I had more options at that size.

Hi guys I want to ask if I should get the qiyi thunderclap or the yuxin 3x3. I average around 30 seconds btw

What other cubes have you used in the past that you like? I prefer the Thunderclap (didn't like it at first but really growing on me). The Yuxin 3x3 is okay but its a little too fast and floppy for my taste. The Thunderclap is a little bit more like an AoLong - smooth, flexy, with some springy snap to it.

I love my thunderclap, decided to go with a 54.5 weilong but haven't ordered yet. Also, it isn't my zhanchi, it's my friend's, and he has done probably at least 300 solves on it. I just don't like that it pops with my turning style when I try to cut corners.

Weilong or Gans 357?

Hey Guys just wanted to know which cube would be better, (the Gans 357 a.k.a Gans 3 v3 or the Moyu Weilong) for a fast turner using a yj sulong with an avgof100 = 13.83? any differences between them and the good points about tehm

 

[Kudz]

Gans is light cube, can be set up very diffrently. Weilongs are slower and heavy. Worse performance over all. Also I hate weilongs.

 

[SnappyShark]

i heard weilong is real fast, how is gans with a standard core?

 

[EpiCuber7]

Ah, this brings me back to the days of my first comp using a speedcube. I had to spend the 2 hour trip to Sydney trying to figure out which one to use and I eventually went with the Gans357 over my Weilong V2 (but weilong for OH).
Now honestly I would probably use a WeiLong just because I gave my gans to my brother and it hasn't been looked after that well.
I voted gans because that's what I chose back then.
Pizza out.
PS: OH WOW THAT'S SO COOL, I NEED TO START SAYING THAT!

Gans 356 v1 vs v2?

Which one Is better, or is it worth it getting the v2. The new groves dont look like much do they feel that different?

 

[TCG]

The v1 seems more catchy even with new center caps, and feels a bit more unstable but at the same time, a bit faster. The v2 is a tad bit slower, more stable, and barely catches. The small improvement seemed to have fixed some issues the v1 had, like the catching issues and unstability.

So do you think its worth it? My gans 356 dosent seem to catch so much with the new center caps.

 

[Felipe Rigon]

I'd stick with the sulong, I do not like the gans 357 nor the weilong.
I've used the sulong as my main, for a while, now I'm using a meiying.

I have both and I think it is not worth it. My V1's are all better. I modded the V1's so they do not catch. The V2 does not catch but is more sluggish which costs me time in averages.

Should I mod mine?

I was just scrolling through the posts when I saw you replied to my post from a little while back. Anyway, how much did you get it for?
I have the white based stickered one.

I have got it for 600 Rupees .

Tanglong is a great cube and it's somewhat quiet. Of course, any 3x3 will make some noise if turned roughly but it's one of the quietest I have.
