  • Answer

  • Cool...is this raping the cube?!

  • @PestVic please answer!!!!! How do I loosen my cube it's too tight and won't loosen

  • Can I have help it is too tight and won't loosen!

  • I dropped my Rubix Cube and it broke :) Now my friend voluntarily started to fix it a few days ago. He's using FRIKIN TAPE AND GLUE.

  • @FallenAngelPatch lol what the haha

  • i have a full Rubik's cube and two extra cores so if it breaks i have backup

  • you just us scissors and it works!

  • 4:38 your dog! xD

  • every time he cuts a corner, my heart breaks a little more...

  • I have a few questions about this method.

    1. How tight do you recommend the centers to be screwed on a scale from 1-10. (1 being very lose and 10 very tight.

    2. Do you recommend sandpapering too? (If yes, then please link a good video of it)

    3. For how long do you do this process all together (Like, 30 min after you get it or like 10 min every day for a week etc)

    4. Do you often lube it?

    5. Do you still use this method nowdays?

    Thanks alot for reading! Please reply to the post

  • @Ebbzzor watch the new video i posted (i reposted this with sound) maybe that vid will help. if not let me know in another comment on that video haha. thanks man :)

  • copy cat. thats what i did in my video. meanie :(

  • @1funzone even though your video was posted two years after mine? :-P

  • Why isn't there any sound? Please reply. :(

  • @BrokenCube13 not sure :( ill try and repost AGAIN :(

  • wheres is the sound?

  • no sound

  • fucking trippy as fuck

  • im watching this out of bordem

  • Hmm... I'm not gonna risk it. Maybe when I buy an extra cube

  • @Pipoca19 i dont see what the risk is? as long as people arent stupid enough to keep pushing the sides when it wont turn and slowly work it in like i said in the video. all cubes would be fine. like every cube ive broken in. and my friends cubes haha

  • By the way, don't add anything to stretch the centers. My white centercap broke off.

  • Lubing is lame.

    Just break it in :)

  • @pokefan098 ??????????????

  • it helped me out thanks.

    is it a good idea to sand the cube using sandpaper ?

  • DUDE!! thx man my cube doesnt lock up that often anymore!

    my average dropped by 10 seconds!

  • hyhhh the song is scary...and the song is like in the hamtaro game lol -.-

  • So yeah I was testing this method on an OLD/pre-owned storebought cube and one of the Centers busted. XD That's okay, this one cost me 25cents at a yard sale.

    PestVic! Please put annotations in the video or something to warn people! I KNOW that you put it in the description but I forgot to read it before trying... =/ Lots of people won't read the description before trying. You gotta put it in the video for people like me.

  • I'm trying to to all of this, but exactly how long of breaking it in will it take to make my cube to work like yours? I've been trying this for half an hour, but my cube is not showing signs of speeding up. :(

  • but it will dont fuck off the cube?

  • that methode is awesome! just did it for about 10 minutes and the cube (type e no. 333) turns much better now. thank you!

  • OMG thank you!!! My cube lcoked up sometimes and this really helped!! IM Subscribing!!!

  • is that a rubik's storebought?omg u can cut in rubiks storebought

    anyway...very dangerous method

  • stupid music

  • Very dangerous method.

  • thanks man that loosened my cube so much thanks awesome! thumbs up!!

  • I used your method and every time I turn any face connected to the yellow side, the cube falls apart or EXPLODES. the method pulls on the center piece(s), and causes cracks in the internal mechanism. Try to see what you can do about this.

  • Comment removed

  • I've only been using the method while watching the video, never before. By the end of the video my cube is already feeling 10x better.

  • Open the cube and just xacto knife the bumps. I notced all store cubes have bumps on them.

  • i stretched my rubik's original cube before and i break it after three days.....

  • @motorizedgags i dont understand? are you trying to tell me what you are? are you ok? can you write full sentences? anyway thanks for the views! glad you liked the video! cheers!

  • lol vic

  • Pestvic, don't let him run to his mamie and cry ( Damm it just happend )

  • lol

  • just put corners of a good speedcube onto it and it goes siiick

  • what i did which saved me a lot of time, is i got some sand paper, took my cube (rubik's brand) apart, and sanded down every peice, where it touched another cube. just smoothed out the corners and stuff. then spray it with some silicone. i have never had any lock ups. i put some cubesmith smooth tiles on it and its actually one of my best cubes.

  • ... my middle piece fell off ... lol its now broken

  • @clifford2704 broken in, broken off, same thing! lol

  • lol chances are they will break if u keep doing it. i broke 3 centers with it so far but i made one that is REALLY good lol.

  • 3 cubes* lol

  • YOU ROCK DUDE... MY RUBIK'S CUBE is broken

    and permanenly destroyed...

    after i do this bout 15 minutes its' goes more smoother.. and when i open my rubik's and relase it it's ROCKS my rubiks is broken..LOLOLOL

  • WTH! mY hand! It'S HURTS

  • Does this method work because it seems like you just used silicone or vasline on the cube

  • @edwardnese nope this video was made with a new cube. no lube no silicone. just the method that loosens the cube

  • Damn then it works really well since it fooled me lol. i am currently trying this method for the past 7 hours and its getting better. still a long way to go until it looks like yours

  • try taking it and chucking it hard onto a solid round NOT CARPET

  • great video

  • It probably didn't break, most likely it dissassembled. Awesome vid, the music sux tho.

  • if u put ur sound off, it looks like ur killing it.

  • I did what u said to do but my cube broke why?

  • THANKS!!!!!!

  • @microbmx Haters who post comments to try to look cool... how gay will this world get

  • @microbmx i think its pretty immature to complain about a video that you obviously wanted to watch haha good luck with the scooters... haha

  • @Brutus1911 LOL!!! you call me gay and you cant even spell Faggot right. go back to school.

  • @Brutus1911 Dood yu ar a faget you gey gahy dont cal pepple faget faget yu nid to go 2 scool yu nid 2 lern faget NAH JK!

  • well i tryed ur method on my new rubiks brand cube and i already broke like 3 pieces. :( but i did it on my old 1 and it worked great. and i lubed it up then cleaned it. omg its amazinng

  • thanks!¡!¡!¡!

  • lol i have used my cube so much, so when i opened it, there was plastic dust in there, lulz

  • Yea same xD so much dust

  • You are awesome, it used this method on my cube and it is super fast now thanks so much

  • Well pretty much you could just

    sand down the edges

  • The cube wouldn't cut corners as good.

  • no... he did not that alg was out in the late 70's early 80's

  • were u actually the first one to come up with the R UI R I alg tho?

  • i did with my cube but i have one perfection thing (for the method) put Vaseline in the cube while you do this, (clean it out after about 2 weeks) it softens the plastic and smooths it out even better. the best method i know is : put vaseline in, cut the center caps off, and put vaseline in there, use pestvic's method, clean it out, silicone it Watch badmephisto's video for tutorial but a finish on the result : reassemble it, pop eight (i pop 16) and work in for 2-5 mins (for 16 use 10 mins)

  • Yesh! I got a Famwealth rubik's cube as part of a package(2x2, 3x3, 4x4) and it was kinda "eh" out of the box. I used your method along with sanding and then silicone lube(spray can, not special cube lube) and it turns sooooo well. Its super smooth and it barely catches. It cuts corners so well because of your breaking in technique! Thanks SOOOO much I cant put it into words how thankful I am!

  • sweet. its pretty much working

  • Thanks a million! Breakging it in right now! :)

  • Nice video

    and to kai

    M2 U M2 U2 M2 U M2

  • what was the algorithm you used at 7:07 to solve that one part?

    where the orange center is on the red and green on the blue?

  • lol i put pennies in between the peices, it made my cube alot loser but also broke it after i tried forcing more pennies in lol

  • i have a rubiks studio and it is really tight. i tried to do this method but the plastic is too strong to grind it. my friend has one and it is way better than mine. does anybody know how mine can get faster?

  • rubiks studios have a screw spring structure. remove the center caps and loosen the screw a little bit

  • my cube is friggin awesome now, although ive broken about 3 cubes doing this too rough

  • i tried "stashing" a cubesmith plastic razorblade in the center...and it completely broke my cube...like if u do it to 1 side it'll be fine(i think) but i did it to 3 sides and the plastic actually bent almost 90 degrees and the core couldn't hold the cubies anymore :( i was pissed

  • hey i think my question is off topic but my rubiks cube has noisy spring like when i make turns the springs are mad loud and if i turn a side slowly the you can hear the spring make noisy too

  • is it a storebought, if so your stuck with it, sorry

  • erm... when stretching the center caps, do i push it go back once then move on the the other sides?

    and thx soooo much!

  • Cant you just file the corners??

  • omgthe soundis always broken on thesevids

  • this one isnt broken wtf are you talking about

  • And cool a chihuahua

  • Im standing on my cube and spinning around right now

  • so i stretched the centers and "stretched" the corners, and guess what? my cube broke. one of the center pieces came clean off.-.-

  • oh man how hard were you going it?

  • ya i put quarters in between the slices, then i forced it to cut corners and the piece broke off.. but luckily i had extra center pieces, and i found a dollar store cube core, so now its pretty much a diy.

  • Sweet thanks :)

    It looks really cool

  • How do you do that thing at the start where you mess the cube up then fix it really quickly? Is there a set of algorithms?

  • R U R' U' x6

  • i saw a Chihuahua at 4:40 lol :)

  • F*** this music up

  • You obviously don't know music when you hear it.

    If you are as musicaly inept as I think you are, which you are, then you shouldn't be posting your opinion,

  • Lols, Pestvic makes me wanna buy a new storebought cube and do this break in O__O.

    I like break in cubes =]

  • 10 min? Are you kidding me? I admit, your method works really well, but for my first storebought cube, the grinding must have at least taken half an hour to 45 minutes, and I had to take constant breaks cos your gets really sore twisting like that. My second cube that I'm breaking in now is already pretty loose and smooth-turning, but I've spent well over half-an-hour just stretching the pieces so they can cut corners, not to mention the extra time spent recovering my hand.

  • yeah i dont know i guess i have tough hands haha. i squeeze hard while i break it in then just stretch over and over really fast :-P

  • Question to pestvic:What exactly doe the corner ca pdo to your bue because i lost mine when mine pop.

  • i dont know i dont usually use them

  • oh shit this really works thanx

  • wats the algorithm u say R U R R Ui?

  • R U R' U'

  • it helped alot , thanks

  • no problem :)

  • oh know I broke my cube lol

  • Hey Pestvic, i have a really lose storebought cube. but when i am solving, since its so lose, it will all get dissaligned and i will have to line up all the sides and continue. but i think this will help it ill post another comment when ive done all this.

  • Pestvic heres my advice: another thing you can do is to let NON-cubers to mess with your cube, since they hold the layers with the hole hands and do it with force.. it will make it better and faster..

  • haha naw i stopped doing that because they always drop it and then broke my best store bought that was like 100 times better than my diys :-P

  • naw mine never does

  • Wow, thanks PestVic, but I do not like the music because it is too loud, and I can barely hear what your saying. At least I can hear most of it. Good Vid 4/5 (because of music)

  • Thanx that really helped

    ive tried everything to get the cube faster but this seemed to work very well

    who wouldve thought...simple elbow grease is the best lube

  • my cube is very tight, got it yesterday

  • lube it

  • Just turning my cube gives me a boner

  • wtf, you might wanna get that checked lol

  • lol

  • cubies. LOL

  • As much as I appreciate this video, is there really a need for the music? I can barely hear, and sometimes the music gets really loud.

    Cheers

  • well i usually put it in there so its not boring. but i balance the audio. i guess with this one i rushed the audio haha :-P

  • yeah once it pops its time to just wear it in :)

  • hmmm weird... not sure? just keep breaking it in and it should stay

  • Will your method make the cube pop?

  • if you do it enough yeah :-P

  • i just got a regular cube that is super fast no lock ups and it is as fast as my diy i bought parts to mod it but i decided it might not turn out to well.lol

  • what about like wd-40?

  • would this help on my diy cube?

  • naw diys are fine by themselfs

  • thank you

  • how many times a day do you have to do this? how much minutes? thanks!

  • Once right when you buy your cube for 5-10 minutes.

  • <3 you PestVic :D

  • thx

  • i have no life? just because i make cube videos in my spare time? do you know me? did you know i play in a metal band and know people who have full connections to trust kill records? did you know my dad was signed to sony records? did you know i own a nice car have a hot gf? because i cube to keep my mind occupied and to challenge myself i have no life? i think people who go around on youtube all day looking at videos just to type "you have no life" are the ones who have no life :) Cheers!

  • errr paranoid much ;P hehe good vid i think i've just dissolved my cube but im getting a C4U DIY as soon as my paypal clears woo

  • hahaha!! hell yeah man! awesome response to a haterrr.

  • can you do that with the 4x4 and 5x5

  • it makes them to loose to cube with :-P

  • sorry for all the comments, but i have a question. Ive been doing all of these things to my cube from every side, all day. (yeah, I had no life today.) anyway, I cant rreally turn it with one finger like in the video. did you lube the cube that in the video? if not, how long did you spend breaking this cube in?

  • i did it for about 5-10 minutes. :) but maybe you got a bad cube :( sometimes they just dont get better

  • the method did make it alot better, though. after using it my personal best went from 40 seconds to 35. so thanks

  • pestvic wat can i do to reduce popping

  • cleaning the inside afterwards also makes it pretty fast and smooth

  • thank you

  • can this make a diy even better or should i not use this method on a diy?

  • you shouldnt need to :-P

  • you mean it won't make a difference?

  • does this work on an icon cube

  • yes. but they are a LOT more stiff so be careful cause they are more brittle and break easier.

  • yes new record 54 sec hella ye

  • can i fix it

  • ive allready lubricated mine with silocone will this affect it

  • hay man thanks i cut my time frrom 90 sec to 55 sec omg thanks but it took long i love you lol

  • What was the alg? R U Ri Ui?

  • yep

  • can i fix it

  • The scary thing about this it actually works but it takes a while

  • Do this before silicone or after silicone

  • BEFORE!!!!!!!!!!

  • id say before otherwise the cube will slide rather than grind ;p I love the innuendos in life
