The Cube Hybrid Thread

why the need to mod the guhong?

The same reason people feel the need to learn ZBLL

I don't see how moding a guhong helps me use fewer moves.

i think its better to put linyun pieces on a guhong core/center piece

what about f2 cubies with diansheng core cuz if u check howtocube's channnel the hybrid cubes video the one with type b cubies and diansheng frame was lightning fast so was the one with rubiks.com pieces with diansheng pieces. i wanna try this cuz the dinsheg core is lightning fast with f2 cubies the cornering not so much pops

Already been a thread on it. Look at the attached pic.

The link doesn't work, i just tried it.

I think he meant something more along the lines of you can always get better.

While this thread exists, I might as well ask: Why is one side of my GuHong tighter than the others? All tensions are even, and all sides are equally lubricated.

 

[Rpotts]

All tensions aren't even, otherwise one side wouldn't be tighter than the others. All sides may not be equally lubricated. The springs may be slightly different. You may have screwed the core together slightly off, resulting in increased friction on certain sides. The cube may have lots of cube dust stuck to lube in certain areas, increasing friction.

 

[cyoubx]

Hmmm, maybe tighter wasn't the right word. The coefficient of friction seems higher on one side than the others, but all corner cutting/reverse corner cutting is the same. I just cleaned out the whole cube, and the issue remains. Maybe I just fail at lubing. Thanks.

try lingyun core and guhong pieces its better in my opinion (but then again, my guhong core is a piece of crap)

Agreed.

Hi,
Does anyone have the chart of the hybrids?
I'd rather not start a new thread asking.

 

[freshcuber]

Yes I know there is one that was posted in a thread a while back but I have no idea where it is. But one does exist if you can find it.

 

[dabest2500]

The GuHong lubed is a really fast cube, and other people have also said that the Lingyun is fast too, and maybe even better.
I just watched this Youtube video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n5my6p5Ah9s

Would anyone recommend me doing this and is it actually any good?
The cube in the video is a GuHong with a Lingyun core.
Also, know where I can buy just the Lingyun core? I can't find one.

semi bump

I tryed ghosthand 1 core, screws, springs, and washer with storebought cubies and it's the best thing once lube. It somehow cuts corners better than my guhong! The result is AMAZING!

I am very sorry if this has already been done and/or asked, however I was thinking about doing GuHong (one of the early versions for people interested) with a Maru core/screws/springs. I would like to hear what you guys think about it and results if it has already been done.

Good question and one I have asked myself. I have some Maru hardware sets on order from Lightake. I do like the C4U nylon core in Guhongs and Lingyuns. As soon as I have the Maru sets I will try with both and post an update. I hope the core may be ok but most successful DaYan hybrids I have tried have been with hybrid core but standard screws/springs

shenshou cube with alpha springs and small washer.
omg.
Cuts 45 and doesn't pop. Does reverse a bit, but it's not designed to so I didn't expect much. It's a little under half the center. It's as good as my guhong, and almost as good as my AV (imo

edit; video

I just tried a guhong/lingyun hybrid. It's amazing, but because I just got my linyun today, it has it's normal stickers while the guhong has cubesmtih. Once I get cubesmith for both, I will most likely be my main.
