Speed Lube is a popular lubricant option among speed cubers who are looking to achieve a longer-lasting and specific feel.
Note: Not recommended for cubers inexperienced with puzzle maintenance and setup.
Cosmic lube is far easier to apply and is recommended until you are comfortable with completely disassembling and re-assembling your puzzle.
How it works:
Speed Lube is offered in 8 different weights, each "weight" being a different viscosity or "thickness".
The larger the number, the thicker or more viscous the lubricant. This will in turn create a smoother, more controllable feel.
We find that many cubers will mix different Speed Lubes. A common example would be a higher weight on the core and a lower weight on the pieces to create a quick, smooth feel.
Recommended for: 2x2, 3x3, Pyraminx, Skewb, Square-1
Frequently asked questions
Q: How do I apply Speed Lube and how much should I use?
A: Speed Lube can be applied in various different ways thanks to the precision dispensing tip -- there isn't necessarily a "wrong way" to apply it. The amount used will vary depending on your desired feel.
Q: When should I apply and re-apply?
A: Applying lubricant to a new puzzle is an easy, cheap, way to extend the lifespan by reducing friction and also improve performance. Re-apply as desired.

A: Yes, Speed Lube mixes well with any of our Cosmic lubricants or other Speed Lubes.
