What is the best way to lube a Rubik's Cube? A common question. In this video I attempt to make a small scientific study in search for the answer.

CONCLUSION: I found spraying into 8 edges and taking long time to work in is best. What also worked pretty well was full dissasembly and 2 sweeps of lube.

  • wups i forgot to take it off caps lol

  • IT DEOS SOUND WIERD

    

  • is it me or does gigolo lube sound odd ?

  • how about using some silicon spray for the cube that was made to protect ruber parts in the car?

  • @mynameisdog4 Unfortunately, your last month of cubing has been a lie. ;) It's easy to adjust the tension on preassembled Zhanchis. Just pop off the center cap on each center piece. You'll see a screw and a washer. Tighten or loosen the screw to adjust the tension for that side.

    Hope this helped.

  • @ClaymoreQuickScoper But you can't adjust the tension on already assembled Zhanchis (or the last month of my cubing has been a lie o_O)

  • @mynameisdog4 A cube doesn't have to be in pieces to be a DIY. A DIY is any cube that can come unassembled. Also, a key component of the DIY is the ability to adjust tensioning.

  • @ClaymoreQuickScoper Not necessarily, you can order already assembled Zhanchis..

  • @mynameisdog4 A ZhanChi IS a DIY.... sigh
