it's super fast and good and corner cutting, and somehow i managed to keep maru lube in there for 2 weeks at a time. unfortunately i could never get the tensions perfect no matter how hard i tried. i got my first podium with that cube lol
cyotheking You can actually order the 46mm version of the Old Plastic Dayan on Cubezz. But it says they don't know which version, but CLcuber proved the differences between them :P
Yeah, when you started talking I was like "what happened Chris?" Thanks for explaining man! And good job on the video too! I'm so glad to see you uploading again!
I'm with Chris on the GTS M, it's my backup main, taking a very close second to the gan air sm. I love the slow, controllable, forgiving, and soft feel.
Hey Chris, if your WuQue is very sluggish, TAKE THE SPRINGS OUT OF THE CUBE AND CUT ONE ROUND OFF THE SPRING, It makes the cube SO MUCH FASTER. I have a CH WuQue M, and is much faster than my regular one, because they cut one round off the springs of the cube. I hope it helped!
My Mains: 2x2 - Cubicle Chuwen M 3x3 - Cubicle Gan Air Sm 4x4 - Cubicle Wuque M 5x5 - Cubicle Wushuang M Skewb - Wingy Skewb Pyraminx - Xman Bell Megaminx - Xman Galaxy v2 [just ordered the magnetic one] Squan - Volt
GTS1 is waaayyyyyyy underrated. Honestly I think a big reason it’s not as used anymore is just that the “version 2” (despite being so different) just makes it seem like it has to be an objectively better improved version and that’s what people buy.
Hi Chris I have a school project coming up and the background music of K cubing 2017 winter would fit perfectly so could you please tell me where you got the link from or can you send me the video link thanks and a good mains
You could always try TH-cam searching royalty free "epic" music. Epic is a really broad term, but it will probably find you the closest results. Maybe cinematic as well.
Im really excited to get a 50mm OP dayan I picked up on speedsolving. Why arn't you on speedsolving forum? How did you set up your OP dayan? How fast is your dayan with this setup? Thanks a ton. Nice video too. Lastly I cant wait to get my custom shirt from Sarah. Looking forward to it.
Honestly, after they changed speedsolving to the new layout I just stopped liking it as much...then a ton of people left it and I just haven't really gone back because of Facebook groups. I don't really have a setup method for my Dayan anymore. Since I don't practice, I don't care quite as much about the performance being perfect. These days it is primarily silk and DNM. Tensions are going to by far be the hardest part to setup. I don't really have any advice for that except lots and lots of trial and error.
MJBCuber the "buy, sell, trade" sub section of speedsolving forums has some. Most of them are 46mm but there is occasionally a 50mm. There is a very small chance of getting cheated though. Just dont use F & F with paypal. Speedcube.au may have some, 46mm if you ask for them. Not sure though.
My Main: 2x2 - Lingpo (I hate 2x2) 3x3 - Homemade Valk 3 m 4x4 - Wuque 5x5 - Wushuang m 6x6 - Red Spring Swapped 7x7 - V-Cube 7 (my only 7x7) Megaminx - Galaxy v2 Square 1 - Volt MS (cubicle labs) Pyraminx - Bell Skewb - Cubing Classroom (my only skewb) p.s. square 1 is the best event.
Lol GTS, GTS2 and Valk 3 is what I switch around, tho GTS2 has been used more than my others Vlk3 is the one I use the least. Don’t like the GAN249 v2? That’s been my main... I hate the small size tbh but there are no other light cubes like it....
I have no Idea how you set up your dayans. I have one and it stinks, because if I try to turn quickly it pops. Still think I would have the same problem on yours, just to a lesser extent. Why dont you use a wuxia or chuwen or weipo though chris?
My Dayan doesn't pop. There's a very small area in the tensions where it won't pop, it's just really hard to get to that point. The Chuwen has been too fast, and the WuXia catches soooo much.
My mains: 2x2: Gan 249 v2 m or Chuwen M 3x3:Valk 3 M set up by my friend 4x4:Thunderclap 5x5:Yuxin Squan:Volt Skewb:Wingy Pyra: Bell Mega:Galaxy v2 sculpted I don't do anything else
I’m looking for a good 3x3 cause right now my 3x3 is a z cube. I want a better one but I can’t afford an sm. Would a regular gan 356 air still be good? It’s non magnetic but I just want a good speed cube and I’ve tried my friends air and i thought it was great. Should I get it or wait longer to possibly get an sm?

No problem. Just thought it would be helpful for anyone who wants a specific main.
Marcos Gonzalez i
I clicked OH and it brought me to a 7x7 at the beginning and I was like whAt?? OH 7x7?
cyotheking Whats with the AoLong v2?
Gts1 has a special place in my heart
Dude, it's such a good cube. Everytime I come back to it I wonder why I stopped haha.
Same
Its still my backup main
it's super fast and good and corner cutting, and somehow i managed to keep maru lube in there for 2 weeks at a time. unfortunately i could never get the tensions perfect no matter how hard i tried. i got my first podium with that cube lol
J Perm Gts 1 has a special place in my...
DUMPSTER. Just kidding, love the cube.
Hopefully by the next video my place will be a little more soundproof! Sorry about that in the meantime. What is your favorite main? :)
cyotheking no worries
Supernova Wushuang M
cyotheking You can actually order the 46mm version of the Old Plastic Dayan on Cubezz. But it says they don't know which version, but CLcuber proved the differences between them :P
cyotheking gts v1 m
i use an original gts aswell
I hated the GTS1 when it came out, but now I have a teal one with Pride of Hawaii shades on it and I'm starting to really like it.
Chris likes a Gan cube, I've been waiting so much for this day ❤️
Ayeeeee, nice to see another cyotheking video. Well made!!!
Thanks!
Pro tip: practice a metric buttload of 7x7 and your 6x6 times will also drop so you get better at both ;)
uggghhhh but 7x7 :(
Zachary White 7x7 also improves your 5x5 speed too. It also helps with lookahead
7x7 takes me 10 minutes to solve :p
Yeah, when you started talking I was like "what happened Chris?" Thanks for explaining man! And good job on the video too! I'm so glad to see you uploading again!
I'm with Chris on the GTS M, it's my backup main, taking a very close second to the gan air sm. I love the slow, controllable, forgiving, and soft feel.
Such a good cube! Even 2 years later :D
Hello there fellow GD player 8)
I use the GTS1 as well! (except I use the regular not magnetic) I just love how it feels after adding Traxxas 50K.
what about thunderclap ?
I still use a Weilong gts 1 m it’s still good.
Hi Cuber yea me too it's still really good
chris can we print on ur website
Wakin up to a new cyotheking video is perfect
What do you think about the np dayan? Mine was gr8 but it broke :/
Hey Chris, if your WuQue is very sluggish, TAKE THE SPRINGS OUT OF THE CUBE AND CUT ONE ROUND OFF THE SPRING, It makes the cube SO MUCH FASTER. I have a CH WuQue M, and is much faster than my regular one, because they cut one round off the springs of the cube.
I hope it helped!
What's the best cube For a sub 20 cuber?
It comes down to personal preference, but most of the top cubes would all be great choices.
Valk, GTS2, Gan Air SM.
gan 356 x
What is that logo from?
Sarah gave it to me :)
What about non cubic puzzles?
I don't do them. :)
Rest in pies, nice video
1:19 where did you bought the logo
Been waiting on this for a while, since the last one was quite a while.
Where do you get those stickers of your 3x3
Thanks for uploading a lot Chris!
Why did you stop practicing 2 x 2?
Where can I find an OP Dayan?
Unfortunately very hard to find now :/
Cubezz
Where are mega, pyra, sq1, skewb, clock, feet, BLD, MBLD, 4BLD, 5BLD and FMC?
way to go chris i use the wushuang non magnetic and i set it up using your tutorial.
To slow down my gts2, I just used weight 3 from speedcubeshop and it's almost sluggish
Where's the classic thunderclap?
My Mains:
2x2 - Cubicle Chuwen M
3x3 - Cubicle Gan Air Sm
4x4 - Cubicle Wuque M
5x5 - Cubicle Wushuang M

What’s that center sticker on your gts 2 and 1 I like it especially the yellow one
My favourite event is 5x5 too and wushuang m with wt5 adds to it
Where is the GTS2M?
It was the second 3x3 in the video. :)
Thunderclap review?
Thunderclap? :(
I have the weilong (sry if I spelled it wrong) GTS2 and I agree it’s insanely fast so I tend to go to my Gans Air SM mag
Do you have the Aoshi GTS M? When it comes out?
5x5x5 is awesome, but what about the equally fun Square-1 and Pyraminx as well as the best events of all, Megaminx and 5BLD?
And Chris please, pleeeeaaasse make a vid on how to be colour neutral on cll
Gts1 is my backup to the yuexiao pro, but I think it still is one of the best cubes of all time
How many old plastic dayan 2x2s do you have?
Where did u get that amazing panda logo?
My girlfriend :)
Nice Video! I love the GTS 1
Thunderclap ???
GTS1 is waaayyyyyyy underrated. Honestly I think a big reason it’s not as used anymore is just that the “version 2” (despite being so different) just makes it seem like it has to be an objectively better improved version and that’s what people buy.
Ethan Dennis I've borrowed my friend's GTS and the caps pops like crazy, tho it's an awesome cube
what would be a great beginner 4x4
GuanSu and Mini Thunderclap 4x4 are both good starter cubes!
moyu right
Correct!
thanks chris! im getting into 4x4 and hoping to get into big cubes
Hi Chris I have a school project coming up and the background music of K cubing 2017 winter would fit perfectly so could you please tell me where you got the link from or can you send me the video link thanks and a good mains
Hey, I got it from a royalty free website but it costs $200 to license. Probably not worth it for a school project :/
Thanks but do you know any music that sounds like that’s that is free? Plus thanks for responding LOL
You could always try TH-cam searching royalty free "epic" music. Epic is a really broad term, but it will probably find you the closest results. Maybe cinematic as well.
I like how you read the comments and heart them :)
Im really excited to get a 50mm OP dayan I picked up on speedsolving. Why arn't you on speedsolving forum? How did you set up your OP dayan? How fast is your dayan with this setup? Thanks a ton. Nice video too. Lastly I cant wait to get my custom shirt from Sarah. Looking forward to it.

Duncan Bannon where can i find it?
MJBCuber Speedsolving or 50mm Dayans?
Duncan Bannon op dayans. I know they aren't sold anymore, but where could i find one like you did?
MJBCuber the "buy, sell, trade" sub section of speedsolving forums has some. Most of them are 46mm but there is occasionally a 50mm. There is a very small chance of getting cheated though. Just dont use F & F with paypal. Speedcube.au may have some, 46mm if you ask for them. Not sure though.
Chris? What's with the panda?
Pandas are awesome!!
cyotheking I like pandas also, but I was just wondering if it's your new logo or what.
what is your main now ?
The gts 1is my main as well I put a drop of silk and 2drops of dnm
why did you stop doing 2x2?
What is your pyraminx main???
My Main:
2x2 - Lingpo (I hate 2x2)
3x3 - Homemade Valk 3 m
4x4 - Wuque
5x5 - Wushuang m
6x6 - Red Spring Swapped
7x7 - V-Cube 7 (my only 7x7)
Megaminx - Galaxy v2
Square 1 - Volt MS (cubicle labs)
Pyraminx - Bell

Which sticker is it on your 3x3.
Links in the description! :)
No skewb or pyra or sq1?!!!
Lol GTS, GTS2 and Valk 3 is what I switch around, tho GTS2 has been used more than my others Vlk3 is the one I use the least.
Don’t like the GAN249 v2? That’s been my main... I hate the small size tbh but there are no other light cubes like it....
Nice video as always chris!
Thanks!
make a how to lube a 6x6 vid
Do you still live in Minnesota?
Yup!
Can I just buy your cubes.
loooool. Yours can't be *that* bad. 😂
Do you do anything other than 2-7?
I have no Idea how you set up your dayans. I have one and it stinks, because if I try to turn quickly it pops. Still think I would have the same problem on yours, just to a lesser extent. Why dont you use a wuxia or chuwen or weipo though chris?
My Dayan doesn't pop. There's a very small area in the tensions where it won't pop, it's just really hard to get to that point. The Chuwen has been too fast, and the WuXia catches soooo much.
cyotheking and the weipo?
Can u do a review on the aosu gts m once u get it
Planning on it!
cyotheking both colour neutral or the aosu gts m
AoSu GTS M is amazing in my opinion even if a lot of people don't like it
Why did you have a panda logo on your 3x3?
Because pandas are the best!
haha! But the real question is: Do you like red pandas?
Where can I get OP DaYan?
You can't really :/
how about non-NxN?
I don't do them :)
I never understood the difference between the old and the new plastic Dayans...
what about skewb, pyra and megaminx
I don't do them, so I didn't want to include those.
For 6x6 have you tried the wuhua v2?
Yeah not very good.
For the timer video, which size cable would you recommend for a gen 4 timer? 2.5 or 3.5 mm.?
It's a 2.5mm on one end and 3.5mm on the other end. It's not one or the other, it is both. Link is in the description :)
Will you do a video about all your favorite cubes from your beginning till now?
Unfortunately I don't still have all of them :(
My mains:
2x2: Gan 249 v2 m or Chuwen M

You say you have trouble getting sub2 on 6x6 but im struggling to get a sub 4 solve on 5x5. Got any tips?
CT Cuber use freeslice and spam TPS,have a bit of look ahead too
I’m looking for a good 3x3 cause right now my 3x3 is a z cube. I want a better one but I can’t afford an sm. Would a regular gan 356 air still be good? It’s non magnetic but I just want a good speed cube and I’ve tried my friends air and i thought it was great. Should I get it or wait longer to possibly get an sm?
You could always get a non magnetic cube and try to do it yourself! :)
Gan Air S would be a huge step up from a Z cube.
cyotheking Thanks! Do you know where I could buy magnets? And what magnets should I get?
TheCubicle.us sells magnet kits! They have lite and strong magnets. Lite magnets might be a good start.
cyotheking Thanks! I’ll look into it:)
my main is still the old thunderclap don't know why, just feels awesome
Please make a video of aosu gts
2x2 op Dayan
