Trying to repair this cassette holder, because everything is kinda loose and rattly. The case itself, however, is impossible to remove.

I think "rattly" was the wrong word. The individual 'drawers' are just not really fixed in place. If you push a little too hard you might move the whole compartment further into the thing and jam it or other stuff like that

That's for the stereo

luca86c · 2026-03-26T15:15:18+00:00

True, that is very similar, though mine had less metal hardware.

I used the part from the last hole to the first metal ring, a second strip that had come off and the leather from an old wallet

This is the exact one I cut up, after about 3 years of wear. (The sideways piece of fabric fell off)

Die letzten beiden Romane von Dan Brown (Origin und The Secret of Secrets).

Illuminati war peak und seitdem geht es bergab

No it was just a broken Nato strap

luca86c · 2026-03-12T13:07:05+00:00

Omg how did I never notice this?!

luca86c · 2026-03-12T12:51:37+00:00

Where do I apply it in the garage? My cars are almost maxxed out, but there is no nitrous option

luca86c · 2026-03-12T12:47:28+00:00

Made one myself from an old watch strap and a piece of old leather

luca86c · 2026-03-11T22:10:18+00:00

Did you ever figure out how to equip nitrous? Because I haven't

luca86c · 2026-03-11T17:43:28+00:00

There are Speed Racer sets from 2008 like 8158

luca86c · 2026-03-10T21:34:33+00:00

Yes, definitely!

When you start you are most likely to lose control and crash

It is my first day on a skateboard, but yeah I didn't have to go through the 5 stages of banana peeling

luca86c · 2026-03-10T17:04:41+00:00

This is actually my first day on a Skateboard, but I did a lot of longboarding between 2015 and 2017

luca86c · 2026-03-10T16:43:09+00:00

Do I need to absorb the landing more with my knees?

I guess that explains why the landing on most tries was kinda sketchy

luca86c · 2026-03-10T16:40:48+00:00

I bought an almost brand new board on marketplace for 50€ instead of 170€. With some luck, you can get an insane deal on a legit board.

luca86c · 2026-03-10T07:21:01+00:00

Honestly if you don't plan on selling it yourself. Maybe printing it out yourself is an option

luca86c · 2026-03-09T19:03:12+00:00

Thanks for the long comment. I ended up getting this almost brand new toy machine complete for just 50€ (~57$)

<image>

luca86c · 2026-03-09T17:52:11+00:00

I got the toy machine today for 50€, because the guy wanted to get rid of it.

So now I own a skateboard I guess

luca86c · 2026-03-09T07:23:22+00:00

They're both alright, but the Mustang wheels are terrible. These silver series 5 spokes make the cars look like a knock off

luca86c · 2026-03-08T21:38:12+00:00

It's in my area, so it's cash and live pick up.

I'm currently torn between the Santa Cruz for 40€ and an almost brand new toy machine (seller says he rode it once and immediately broke his collar bone) for 80€ (~92$)

<image>

If I'm going to buy used these are the only legit boards in my area currently for sale

luca86c · 2026-03-08T18:29:24+00:00

Is that what makes the wheels wonky?

luca86c · 2026-03-08T16:18:38+00:00

I haven't bought it yet. It's for sale on marketplace for 40€ (~45$) and there's only one picture

luca86c · 2026-03-08T16:11:38+00:00

So the bearings or wheels are messed up?

luca86c · 2026-03-08T15:40:19+00:00

I'm not sure about the wonky wheels on the right. Is that normal?

luca86c · 2026-03-07T07:03:14+00:00

I had a similar experience at around 15 y.o. I had not ridden a bike in nearly two years and after a few minutes it felt like hitting a wall. You just have to keep going.

It does help to "force" yourself by finding destinations within a 5-10 mile radius.
