The Cube Hybrid Thread

[collinbxyz]

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:

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.

I did this for my hybrid, but it's the whole linyun core, screws, center pieces, etc together. You just disasemble the lingyun and put guhong cubies on it.

Yeah, I didn't realise that at the time of posting.
Did you have to adjust the tensions at all?

I think I loosened it, not sure. I actually like the guhong core with lingyun cubies better...

Oh, well, I ordered 6 cubes for £70 so will be able to try this hybrid soon.
What do you think of the hybrid and what cube would you compare it with?

 

[dabest2500]

Just made my hybrid cubes
The GuHong core with Lingyun pieces is so fast! So damn smooth.
It also seems to be quieter than a normal LingYun. It corner cuts well, hardly pops (2.5 turns away from the core, 2 pops after a day of use, but that's just my rough turning, planning on becoming smoother).
The LingYun core with GuHong pieces is rougher but I like it! It seems to pop more so I've changed this one to 2.25 turns away from the core.
Both hybrids have been lubed with Lubix, the core and the pieces.
I still can't decide between the two, but both are better than my broken in GuHong with Lubix (2 months of use). That cube seems to be unstable.

Ghost hand core+ Haiyan's cube= GREAT!!

 

[jrb]

Sounds interesting. I'll have to try it.

guhong + alpha feng core= no difference!

Quick question to everyone, has your main speed cube ever been a hybrid cube?

 

[Olji]

yep, Guhong with C4U core (if that can be called a hybrid lol)
long time I tried my godshand lately, gonna try it out again sometime soon

 

[dabest2500]

Were there any benefits of having a C4U core instead of a DaYan one?

 

[linkin182]

i changed my guhong core with an Alpha V core and its a lot better!

my guhong core was so dirty that it had bits of hair inside the core and on the springs .... o.0

 

[Engberg91]

I never used the guhong core because 1 hole on the core was messed up.
I used to use a Diansheng core, the cube never pops, good corner cutting and very fast.
Now I use a C4U core, the Diansheng core made it to fast for my taste...

JSK core with C4Y Cube pieces was my main for like a year or so. I'm way behind on the cubes though. In my opinion though I find that a lot of newcomers spend way too much time on making hybrids and buying tons of cubes when they really don't need a better cube. People who have been solving a long time too. More often it's the cuber who is posing the limitations, not the cube.

Sorry but, JSK?

Oh right, thanks.

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

That looks amazing. Can you have the tension looser than before? I hav mine a bit harder than I want to, because of the popping, so I might order a set of Alpha springs, after all, they are less than 1$

is there a big defference between normal guhong and guhong + AV core?

No.
