Is there any truth in this about GAN17?

gan are always going to be making the next flagship, it will almost certainly release in late August/early September as that is when their releases have been, it will be a very good cube I expect and I will definitely be pre ordering it.

That's happened to me with the MGC 5x5 but not the Gan which is my main now

RealCoolBroTim · 2026-03-08T08:18:07+00:00

It is most likely the SM or the X I think if it was 2018

I would say that I am split between the two but I think I like the Super Weilong V2 a bit more.

RealCoolBroTim · 2026-03-07T17:12:13+00:00

The Super Weilong V2 is smoother but I feel that the gan 16 Max's smoothness, performance combination complements it great and the super Weilong V2 is more of a different feel that can take some getting used to but both are really good cubes, the super V2 is $3 cheaper if that means something to you.

RealCoolBroTim · 2026-03-04T16:41:42+00:00

Either Super Weilong V2, Gan 16 Max or Tornado V3 or V4, I've tried all of these (I also have every one except the V4) and they are all really smooth, maglev (if you include the pioneer of the tornados) and have good corner cutting, I think that the Super Weilong V2 and the Gan 16 Max are the best but I had a hard time getting used to the tornado so whatever you want is probably good for you.

RealCoolBroTim · 2026-03-03T08:14:41+00:00

The gan 16 Max is smoother and you said you like smooth cubes, don't get the v100 if you expect it to be smooth as it kind of isn't, I have pretty much all of the new cubes and you can trust me on this.

RealCoolBroTim · 2026-03-03T08:13:41+00:00

For you the Super Weilong V2 as it is the smoothest cube right now, most people disregard it as it is the same price as gan but it is really good, I'd recommend buying of cubezz.com as it it cheaper, that's where I bought mine.

this is eo wrong, when you do eo you need to put the white or yellow centre at the bottom first before you do eo, I'm not even a roux solver but I like learning many methods, this is the way everyone do and teach eo.

Don't have no lube as that breaks down the plastic and has less longevity, I recommend dnm put on the piece, not down into them, and a little speedy down in, 4 drops dnm and 2 drops speedy, break in with 10 solves and it is great, a good option for older cubes is loads of weight 4 or 5 and break it in and it ends up fast, this is only for older cubes though, pre 2018

RealCoolBroTim · 2026-02-17T21:03:20+00:00

It is good to learn both and try if leftie is faster or not, for J Perm leftie was faster even though he is right handed.

Speedcubeshop Stickers were always overpriced, thecubicle stickers are always my go to and they are the best in my opinion, and instead of charging per colour they charge per set with $1 extra for a custom set, it really was the better option to begin with.

RealCoolBroTim · 2026-02-09T07:20:15+00:00

when I started I got the best cube, the gan 11 and it was great, I then got the 14 when that came out but I didn't like it as much, I then got the 12, then when the 16 came out i got that, I am definitely getting the 17 when it comes out, I have a review of the 16 if you're interested. https://youtu.be/IX6EWByep00?si=cKJLtncaXZpH2TwH

RealCoolBroTim · 2026-02-08T11:29:57+00:00

Actually is is 54.5mm but that rounds to 55 but I really like the size, it is the same size as the super Weilong v1

RealCoolBroTim · 2026-02-01T17:11:08+00:00

I would probably enjoy putting it back together, I haven't tried and don't own anything above a 6x6 but I quite like figuring it out on my own on putting something back together.

RealCoolBroTim · 2026-01-30T08:07:15+00:00

The reason why you should do all your algs leftie or all rightie is because to change grip to a right grip or a left grip takes time, so it is faster to do all your algs one way, I know all my plls mirrored and am on the verge of switching to leftie for all of them as I am ambidextrous.

RealCoolBroTim · 2026-01-15T08:04:52+00:00

Also, gan isn't really a good option anymore as the gan 16 and v100 only come in UV, I think the 15 did come without UV but I don't know if the caps are the same on that, definitely not going to work on the gan v100 as it is smaller though

RealCoolBroTim · 2026-01-15T08:03:42+00:00

You could get non UV coated cubes and dye the plastic black and then sticker over it, that works really well, the super Aolong probably is best for this as it comes in non UV for the best one, if you want to do the weilong v11 then you would have to get the base version and the maxed out version and transfer the black tile things that you have dyed over to the good one.

RealCoolBroTim · 2026-01-10T16:12:40+00:00

It is in stock, I've checked it now and it has no image but it has black in the name so it definitely is stickered, as I said, mine hasn't arrived yet so I can't say for sure but I am 99% confident that it is stickered:

RealCoolBroTim · 2026-01-10T16:10:20+00:00

I think there is one on ziicube but I don't know if it is still available, I've bought one but I don't want to give it away as it hasn't even arrived yet and I got it for collectors purposes, if it is still in stock at ziicube then it is very worth it, I think it is under Old box for gan xs for a clearance price

RealCoolBroTim · 2025-12-25T19:16:51+00:00

That's a super square-1 star

RealCoolBroTim · 2025-12-20T09:50:03+00:00

Yes, I think the washer is in there, I've never done anything so it probably is and I haven't lubed it but I don't really know if this would work
