    Getting a strange rattling/buzzing sound reflecting off of walls/cars around 4-5k rpm

    Maybe change your sprockets. They are pretty cheap to buy. (Depending on your miles)...

    Spools?

    I ordered spool/slider. Woodcraft 6mm. $29.99 and tax. I don't exactly think they are cheap. You get what you pay.
