yep

I'm having troubles planning out the entire cross on the harder cases (7 or 8 moves). Should i keep practicing or switch to opposite colour neutral while im still a noob?
thanks

Go for complete CN while you're "still a noob". Starting earlier will be way better than trying to become CN later.

 

[Raiz]

keep practicing man. dont give up!!!

Petrus(Pyraminx)
Soap(2x2)
Screw(Square-1)

Bump on Pyraminx methods.

Polish V. Very extensive method that has the potential to be really fast. Oka is also a great method. What do you average? I have a friend gets sub 5 averages with the 5 alg B3ES method.

As far as I can see, his post does not ask anything about Polish V.

Oh... I didn't read his post.

does any one have any tips for not getting lock ups when executing oll and pll algs?

This is a sloppy method but try overturning. Some moves if underturned will mean the following turn needs to reverse corner cut (which can lock) but if you deliberately over turn it then the next move could use normal cornercutting which wont lock as easily. For examble on Y perms I always over turn the R' before the F' so it never locks. You can experiment with all the moves in an Alg to see where you commonly lock and see if over or under turning the move before will prevent that.

But as I said before this may be a bad technique.

Whats the best lube for Shenshou 4x4 and DaYan/MF8 4x4. I cannot decide between the two. I have been using Maru lube but find I need to re-lube every day. Anyone recommend Lubix or lower viscosity shock oil on these?

 

[JLarsen]

I'd recommend 20 wt shock oil for anything. There's absolutely no puzzle you'll put it in that will make it "bad" for say. And you certainly won't have to relube every day....That's ridiculous.

isnt lubix like around 50000 wt?

The white side on my main cube is unscrewing itself. After some observation I noticed that when I take the center caps off, the screw on the white side turns along with the white face. The other sides obviously doesn't do that. What is causing it to happen? How can I stop it? Thank you!

 

[cuberkid10]

I would reccommend getting a new set of core and screws/springs. Most likely stripped, or you have something stuck in it.

 

[spdcbr]

So I can't fix it? Could it be possible that the spring would be dragging along the screw?

 

[cuberkid10]

I would try taking that part out and washing it to see if you can get gunk or anything off of it. Reasemble and try again, if it still explodes, you most likely should buy a new core. They're pretty cheap on CubeDepot.

if i dropped my FII cube lets say 3 times just standing up, could that ruin the tensions or make them looser?
