Dang...well do they sell on Lubix? I was thinking of getting a new core along with a Guhong

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.

You have been saying that often. Do you think you might mean per se? Please correct me if I'm wrong because I haven't heard anyone say it like that before.

Oh my god why on earth would you use 20 wt shock oil? That stuff has got to make your cube crappy and gummy. I am saying this after trying my friends 500 wt shock oil on two of
my cubes. If 500 sucks I can't imagine how bad 20 wt shock oil would be. Personally i would recomend 20,000 wt shock oil with the brand name of "losie". Its not spelled that way though. Can't remember how it's spelled and its not near me.

isnt lubix like around 50000 wt?

Yeah I did see that in this thread but I haven't really heard it anywhere else or heard anyone else's take on it.

Hmmmm. Idk I usually don't worry about proper grammar. As long as I get the point across and I don't sound stupid. Let me give it a google. Yeah, looks like you're right. Lmao I've been saying that the longest time.

You haven't heard me ***** about shock oil being so much better then lubix and how people shouldn't buy lubix. You haven't heard me with that?

Sorry for double post.

Is there any up to date website that has all the top times and unofficial world records on it.

Up to date? No.

I managed to get the caps off the centers of my storebought. How do I adjust the tensions?

Is there any program that can solve the first layer of the 2x2 in the fewest moves?

Well I do have Lubix and use it extensively on 3x3's but thought that the viscosity might be a bit high for the 4x4. Maru lube is great on the shenshou but the cube being back to normal in 24 hours seems a little excessive.

Don't think that you can, pretty sure storeboughts use rivets, so nothing can be altered.

Is there an online scramble generator that just scrambles the edges?

Thanks. I just ordered this:

Going to try to remove the rivets and then just replace them with screws. Do you think that could work?

I did it once with a hacksaw. Worked perfectly, the cube is amazing now.

Cool. I'm just going to cut through the core and the rivets at the same time using some big pliers. Don't really care if the old core is ruined in the process. Georgeanderre has gotten me on this storebought-mod trip

Yea, the core and rivets are pretty much screwed, so you won't be able to use them again. One thing to be careful of is to not damage the part of the center piece that touches the core. If it gets nicked a little you can sand it, but you want to avoid damaging the bottom of the center pieces if possible.

 

[Bapao]

I'll be careful ;o) Did you do any mods on the pieces at all?

None. Just had to lube it and tighten it quite a bit, but no modding.

Piqued my interests... How would you use the center pieces since the center caps cannot be removed.
