UK cuber, Bad location?

[jiggy]

It's basically rounding off the inside corners. This was the first good hit I found on youtube, I haven't really checked it out though so I can't say. You can buy them from Haiyan pre-modded in black and white but it's quite expensive. That's where I got mine from, however.

Ok. I did that with my Rubik's brand cube a little while ago.

thanks, I'll take your word for it.

I have got a real fetish for HKNowstore at the mo..

They're not quite as cheap as lightake, but offer free shipping - which for me arrived in 6days - lightake is the same as popbuying basically, and that can take 2-4weeks.
Also - I got a guhong that was missing a piece, emailed them, had a response within the hour, and they shipped my piece the next day - no questions asked. So the customer service you recieve is excellent.

Its up to you really. If you have a few more pennys, and HKNowstore have got what you want, or you want quick, free shipping - go with them.
If you don't wanna spend as much, and don't mind waiting - Lightake all the way.

Check out Stefan's page for more shops. I can't vouch for a lot of them, but some are excellent.

This store has a small selection but in uk http://speedcubeuk.webs.com/apps/webstore/

I've had success with C4U before. If you have problems you could try cubefans.com (same owner/products). Lightake and other places are worth checking out, the shipping is free and fairly fast (in my two orders with popbuying/lightake, it was average about 10-12 days total).

Sorry - had no C4U purchase experiences. DealExtreme, FocalPrice, Lightake, (ex popbuying), Mefferts, puzl.co.uk, hknowstore -- all good stuff.

Get an A-V, a CII, and a Ghost Hand!

How is the C2 different from the C1? I have a C1, and it's my fav.

The C-II cubies are sealed, whilst the Type C (I) cubies are not.

Yes, see http://www.speedsolving.com/wiki/index.php/Sheng-Le and of course Stefan's cube comparison site http://www.speedcubes.net/model.php?model=49 and http://www.speedcubes.net/model.php?model=20

And how did that work out?

 

[Zyrb]

thanks guys

actually it makes no difference whether u live in a small unknown random city or big city such as London etc when an international delivery is made from HK or China, as long as they are in the same country (though i never used c4y before)

It cuts corners better. I only did it a little to test it out, and if I would have done it more I would have seen even more improvements.

Was it worth the 'effort'?

I'm not sure whether I should try it on my Rubik's brand cube. I don't want to ruin it (first cube...) and I think of buying a new cube anyway (F-II or smth).

 

[TheCubeMaster5000]

It would have been worth it. You won't ruin a store bought by sanding the edges. But yeah, get an F-2

 

[Crosshash]

Dude, just order from Lightake and Dealextreme. That's what I do. It takes ages to arrive but it's the best you can do really (until speedcube.co.uk pull their fingers out)

I got my type FII from eBay... It was only £6.99 and free shipping, took only 7 days to get to me, brilliant out of the box (and same for any other type FII from what I've heard)
