[@origamikatakana]

Great tutorial!

[@hacuber3785]

My moyu pyraminx is EPIC now thanks to you!!

[@kevinhamakawa8343]

Great Video! You deserve way more subscribers.

[@cubeologist42]

[@cubeologist42]

Paul Kim Awesome, glad it helped!

[@huancaquisbertmauricioandr4429]

Just what I was looking for, excellent video, Could you tell me where did you buy your personal stickers whit your logo?

[@danfluff6569]

i know this is an old video but thanks so much!

[@Jacman8]

this was really helpfully!

[@jasonward345]

+Jacman8 =) Your grammar is so bad *Helpful* not Helpfully

[@sigalig]

Dude the thumbnail for this video rocks haha

[@sama5710]

Hi Cubeologist, great video though I do have one question! Would it be better to use a weight 2 silicone lube on the centre pieces instead of a heavy weight silicone lube? Thanks for the help!

[@jessicali50]

No!

[@deezdanglynuts6958]

I'm wondering could u please make a tutorial on how to take the ball bearings out of the moyu pyraminx?

[@adabhavsingh8604]

Excuse me Cubeologist, what happens when the shiny side of the washer is not facing up? ( Pls reply faster ).

[@ruihopracing8151]

you dont have to excuse while commenting because comments are made for asking questions.

[@spifuntastic621]

The cube has spring noise and it feels rough

[@sunbelt7370]

I can't wait to get my Moyà pyriminx

[@prestigioustips5787]

Thank you cubeologist

[@RTRANDOM]

i dont have a pyraminx but this is helpful when i get one!

[@suho-2733]

Is at 1:33 where you tension the pyriminx?

[@MinecraftVoidMan]

no, watch the whole vid

[@looneyCaveman]

Your thumbnail made me chuckle.

[@sunbelt7370]

Wow awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@cubeologist42]

***** it wouldn't let me reply directly to you so I am doing it this way. Yes I do have interest in non-WCA puzzles, but presently I am so slow at the WCA ones that they are all that I am practicing. I do have a 4x4x6 that I just lubed and re-stickered and it is a blast. Kinda coming up with my own horrible method was fun lol.

[@aca1475]

+Cubeologist is weight 3 good for this

[@Jordyperson]

id say yes

[@Hakspo]

Do you need to do a lot of solves before lubing?

[@zangoose..]

Haxpo i dont think so

[@jellemllr]

How do you take of the caps on the xman bell

[@IBcuBer-ze7fm]

Cubeolgist please reply back, I'm missing 2 washers and I can't find them, not in the centers or in the tip or screw. Pleas help

[@oystersawce2472]

i have the same problem i dont think mine came with the other two

[@adamg.8419]

same problem here

[@erikhjortsater5461]

IBcuBer0603 Mine came without some of them.. :/ Seems to be working fine without them tho.

[@hadyjaafar4303]

Can i use weight 2 for the pieces? +cubeologist

[@Kyle-jr9ob]

yus

[@dansachs903]

Can u also do a tutorial for the moyu skewb

[@cubeologist42]

Dan Sachs I have tried to lube my skewb, but it came out gummy. I think the best metod for that puzzle is just maru on the tracks and lube the core.

[@mikeandjennycheung7764]

Can you use any lube for a pyraminx?

[@Evxra]

Cubeologist how did you get your logos?

[@cubeologist42]

CaptainConure Cubing Ordered them from thecubicle.us. They're really nice actually.

[@jamesvardy7642]

Should I use weight 2 for the pieces? P.S: I love your videos! :)

[@cubeologist42]

James Vardy Just a little. Even though it is weight two, any silicone lube can be over-applied. It is easy to add more, but not easy to wipe a cube out.

[@jamesvardy7642]

Thanks for replying!

[@ShadowCooper77]

I thought that heavier lube will make your cube slower!!! What if you put weight 1 lube in the core? Won't it be faster?

[@justinroth8988]

+ShadowCooper77 nope

[@chicken29843]

So ive been putting my washers in upside-down all these years

[@nothingspecial2332]

Do a tutorial on the shengshou pyraminx

[@Keshaire]

EmeraldJam This method will work just fine on the ShengShou.

[@יעריגירון]

can i use wt.2 insted of maru?

[@서준이-m4l]

yes because its light

[@BrodyPlusCubing]

Do I have to use weight 5? Can I use weight 3?

[@cubeologist42]

BrodyPlusCubing Yeah that shouldn't be a problem. The only reason people use heavier lubes on the core is because they hold up better over time. You may have to re-lube the core a little more often, but I doubt it would noticeable.

[@BrodyPlusCubing]

Thanks for the response. Sorry I am 5 days late.

[@dansachs903]

Who did you learn to lube and tension from

[@cubeologist42]

Dan Sachs Just over the years of watching multiple tutorials online and trying different methods.

[@zangoose..]

is traxxas usable..?

[@super38294]

BlueHood yes but only 50k or 100k

[@chasew4559]

Can you use weight 3 lube

[@meghdeshmukh]

6:43 (im not sure i got that right) its 120 degrees

[@cubeologist42]

well I know that a full turn is 120 degrees, but I only turned it half way ;)

[@meghdeshmukh]

I stand corrected

[@luisbolus1917]

+Cubeologist a full turn is 180

[@wuzzybapbap9626]

can I use qiyi lube?

[@YLKRubiks]

I just pull the caps of and then lube the corners then lube the pieces without disassembling it

[@Anon.G]

My caps don't come off. How do I make them?

[@cubeologist42]

Anonymus Minecrafter Make sure that you are not gripping the piece under the cap. just grip the edge around the bottom and pull on that. Should come off.

[@Anon.G]

Ian not. The tips barely move EATHER they wouldn't move out of the box

[@Mechanabox]

I had the same type of problem, it'll hurt, but just yank on it. It'll pop off with enough force.

[@Anon.G]

TheProgrammingCuber thanks it worked( sort of) I am young so my dad did it ( me is too weak :( )

[@Mechanabox]

Anonymus Minecrafter No problem, glad I helped. And being physically weak is nothing to be ashamed about, it's the mind that counts right?

[@SBCubing]

I was happy because he had martan lube as I also only have that but then I heard that we cant only use martan lube

[@johannxlising]

can i use lubix

[@simondalstrom]

yes

[@8equals2d33]

*In order to make your tips feel good* XDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

[@vrabo3026]

I cant pop off the tips, help?

[@super38294]

Vrabo which Pyraminx do u have

[@themovies234]

I can't get my tips off! Help, please!

[@super38294]

ItsStevenLMAO which Pyraminx is it

[@async7616]

I can't turn the screws.....

[@austincampbell9275]

I am missing 2 washers!! Help

[@MinecraftVoidMan]

just put a little extra lube in the ridges, sometimes they cheap out and only give 2.

[@austincampbell9275]

thats what i did but thanks anyways.

[@kishandube2996]

[@kennytran2860]

Should've 7sed lunar

[@chinatown6489]

becausz

[@sunbelt7370]

I mean Moyu

[@sthadkam]

That pyraminx is not comp legal

[@JU73K]

can i ask why?

[@sthadkam]

he put the logo on and edge piece

[@FakeDane]

+Ganesh Thad Okay buddy, try reading the regulations again. 3l1a) For Pyraminx and 2x2x2, the logo may be on any piece.

[@sthadkam]

really? I thought on pyra you had to put the logo on the "edge"

[@cubeologist42]

+Ganesh Thad 3l1a) For Pyraminx and 2x2x2, the logo may be on any piece. Read the regs man.
