How to setup your Qiyi Clock

using tape singlehandedly dropped my global by 0.3

[@williamherring]

thank you clock guy for clock renovation tutorial

[@BuckPF]

Hey thanks for this tutorial I used weight 2 silicone and weight 4 and added tape. I just got a clock yesterday and before I did this I averaged about 50 but now I’m getting 32 seconds like it’s nothing! Thanks ❤

[@comp.lex4]

Hey thanks so much, i followed this and instantly crushed my pb ao5 and 12. Here i thought hardware was good enough that we didnt have to resort to things like tape anymore, but i guess the more things the more they stay the same haha

[@E-Cubing]

worked extremely well thank you

[@NishiYuuma]

So that's why some of the clocks I've seen on comp have tape over them, I thought it was just for grip or asthetics so it won't get mistaken for someone else's clock
...typing that makes me realise that grip argument and that I'm a dumbass xD

[@cubemonke]

i mean making it recognisable as your own clock is a reason to do it too

[@TheCubingPenguin]

Considering 98% of QiYi look the same

[@KidDoesCubing]

Hey Monke my clock is severely uneven on and I’ve literally tried everything to get it even. It’s so uneven that i can’t practice without having to change my turning between sides. I’m thinking of buying a new clock. Do you have any tips to try and fix it so I don’t have to spend 40 dollars

[@cubemonke]

there have been people who have had defective internal pieces so that might be the issue and theres not much you can do about it but maybe try looking closely at internals and try fixing

[@KidDoesCubing]

@@cubemonke ye I noticed that I’m missing a magnet on one of the dials but I have no magnets that fit in there

[@cubemonke]

@@KidDoesCubing sad!

thanks for the tutorial. also is this touhou music in the background?

[@cubemonke]

yes i dont remember which album

[@winnter5141]

what does the tape do to clock ?

[@cubemonke]

- even tensions on both sides
- distinguishable from other clocks in comp
- loose but stable so theres less friction (slower solvers might not like this)

[@GavstersCubing]

Is it legal to put tape on your clock?

[@cubemonke]

yes

[@abrahamjh5742]

I’m pretty sure any lube works on clock right?

[@cubemonke]

yep

[@abrahamjh5742]

alr

But try to use slightly gummy and heavy lubes
Something like dnm would not be optimal to use

[@JacksonFC]

I tried this. My clock barely turns now. Thanks.

[@cubemonke]

youre welcome!!

[@silkcubing]

skill issue

[@calebkind2020]

why you always in a mood- ian dior

[@JosephBurnett937]

i think you need to clean some of the lube out

[@AlessandroGalloppo]

How can I remove the "balls" from the clock?

[@cubemonke]

vasectomy

[@AlessandroGalloppo]

Oh, I didn't know vasectomy works on clock too

[@AlessandroGalloppo]

Jokes apart, what do I have to use to remove balls from the clock?

[@cubemonke]

@@AlessandroGalloppo i have no idea what you are referring to

[@yungskigg]

@@AlessandroGalloppo balls? man idk what u mean either. ig bottom surgery is a good option if you’re going long-term.
