I've always wanted to know what happens to a cube after several months of use. And what happens to a cube if it just stays there unmoved for a few months. How often do u need to replace your cubes.
If you feel that your cube is not working as well as it did before, wash it out and re-lube it. If you have a cube that you use a lot more than others, you should do this every 1-2 months.
I had a friend that left his Rubik's 4x4 on the shelf and didn't touch it for 3 years. The red decolorized into reddish-pink. Hmm I won't say i don't replace my cubes, but when I see one at a shop or anything and it looks good i'll probably get it. Regretted not getting that mefferts megaminx (I think?) in Indonesia last year while on a school trip but instead got a brandless square-1 and a 2x2x3
