how to lubricate magic?

you could try de-stringing your magic then, take the strings and place them into a container with lubix. Works like a charm but it's pretty pricy

I have both a v1 and v2 MF8 Square 1. I really want to use the v2 but the U and D layers are so stiff, when I loosen the core to a stage where its usable I keep getting pops of the 30 degree edges when slicing.

Any experiences of this or suggestions?

-Ultimate Lubix Zhanchis have the 48 edge-point mod done to them. In addition, they are also tensioned and lubed.
-Lubix Fusions have the same stuff done, except custom torpedoes are put in as well.
-Lubix Elites have all of the above done, plus additional corner/edge mods.

According to izovire, he mods beyond the Lubix Elite. A full list of mods can be found in this video.

CRC made my v2 really great

Thanks, I'm getting a few Zhanchi & Guhong DIY's and I wanted to mod them as much as possible and to me Izovire's mods seem the most extreme but I also had to order a Godly Guhong from him too!

compared to the shengshou 5x5 does the yj 5x5 need any lubing out of the box?

Which is better, the V-Cube 5 White, or the V-Cube 5 Black?

I've googled around and only really came across one thread on this forum that was really old.

I think it means number of people you referred to this forums, not that sure though

Who makes clocks?
I got a Rubik's brand off of ebay but I lost a yellow tip and the paint on the individual clocks are kinda off, so its hard to speedsolve with.
Sooo, I'm lookin for a good clock. Should I buy another one off EBay? Are there any other companies? KO's?

Does anyone have a good, easy to remember pure 2-corner-twist alg? Like, when the only things you want done are to twist two adjacent corners. UFL and UFR, in my case.

EDIT: Nevermind. My question has been answered. I'd still enjoy seeing some pure 2-twists, though

I think it's personal preference because I think the way they work are the same but it's the color recognition that tells them apart.

In addition to Cubetwist, as someone already said, MOA makes clocks but they are hard to find.
