I do something like meyer but not quite. I recomend it though.

Not sure where a good tutorial is but you only need to know the steps:
2 opposite centres
1x3x4 roux block
M centres
Edge pairing
3x3 stage

Isn't that exactly what Meyer is?

I found a Rubik's brand 4x4 solution book that came with my first ever 4x4 the one that cones in the Clam shell package not the hex one and the solution they give is
1. solve yellow edges and corners
2 solve yellow centers
3. solve white corners
4. solve white edges
5. solve the remaining edges
6. solve remaining centers
I know it's not redux but what method is it?

Looks like a noob version of cage/sandwich.

Yes
I was describing Meyer, not my way

K4 is quite popular among Roux users.

I would have to say 55mm. its not a big difference between them and youll have alittle bit more control with it. I have a 55 i use for OH and it works just fine for me.

And i was wondering what the best lubricant is (for my zhanchi) and how can u tell exactly if your cube is tensiioned perfecty because mine seems to be getting looser.

Thanks for the reply;I ordered a 55 mm zhanchi a couple days ago. As for your question, I think most people would agree that lubix is the way to go with dayan cubes. From my experiences though, CRC doesn't work very well on zhanchis. Check out cyoubx's video on how to tension dayan cubes. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vlumT6dX6K0

Is that the V-I or the V-II, and is the V-I better then the V-II?

4x4x5 or 5x5x4?

I really like Stadler.

I think KBCM can be a good method for a Roux user. http://www.speedsolving.com/wiki/index.php/User:Kenneth:Kenneth's_Big_Cubes_Method

Could I do the same with Lubix?

 

[Yuxuibbs]

Would 1 set of cubesmith vinyl sheets be enough material to cut stickers for a 50mm zhanchi, 55mm zhanchi, ss 4x4, ss 5x5, and ss 6x6?

Yes.

Probably. But why not just get the sticker sets for the SS cubes?

 

[Renslay]

Thank guys. I studied the Meyer, the Stadler, the K4 and the KBCM methods. The last two are a bit hard for me (the last steps... I'm slow with commutators), but the first two method seem quite comfortable.

whats the average movecount of a reduction/cfop solve and the one of a yau/cfop solve on the 4x4?

reduction/cfop is about 130-140 I think.

Ok im sub 30 atm (about mid 20s like 24-27 average usually) and Im thinking about becoming color neutral. I think its still early enough that it wont be to bad (I just did an ao12 doing 2 solves starting with each cross and got a 33.xx ao12) I noticed I did really good with yellow cross both of my yellow cross times were sub 30 (29.37 and 28.79) So would it be worth it to be color neutral or maybe opposite color neutral?
