Selling something on gumtree. After asking if its still available, prospective buyer wants to know my email address. Why?

OT and probably a very basic question but I'm technologically challenged. I have a newly built outhouse in the back of my garden that I want to have wifi in. I have already laid a cat6 ethernet cable from the outhouse into the main house that will connect to the router in there (virgin fibre). To get a wifi network at the other end, is the simplest thing going to be to get another router and configure it somehow to broadcast a second wifi network? There will be PC there that I want to connect via a cable too which I presume I can plug into said router?

Would any old router do the job?

Hero. I'll email them with the pic and see if they can help. Thank you!

I've got a pack of this flooring left over from the previous owner of our home. I want to get more but I can't figure out where it's from. Can anyone help?

Ta! Will give them a shout, although it seems CK have abandoned the "Pewter" colour, so I need to establish if I could live with myself if I had a silver coloured top cap and Pewter everything else. I'm not sure I could.

Anyone know where I can get a Chris King "griplock" bearing cover converter , so I can have a split ring on my old style nothreadset? Can't seem to find any stock in the uk other than Winstanley which is only in red. I need Pewter ideally.

Is there any disadvantage to running a 3/32 cog on a otherwise 1/8 drivetrain? My cog has worn out and I have a 3/32 in my box of bits.

Bike is a fixed gear commuter.

So I think I just got "phished". Got a call to my work phone via switchdesk, guy knew my full name and said he worked for a courier company and he had a parcel for me, just needed to verify my mobile number. I was expecting a parcel so stupidly gave it. They then hung up and called my mobile, asked if it was me and then hung up.

Aside from my error in judgement, what should I watch out for now? Is Mr Robot coming for me?

Thanks for the kind offer, I actually had a pair of those before but didn't really like them though.

My overshoes need to be replaced. Which ones are good? Mainly for cold toes.

Either set up too high

You answered this question months ago but I finally got round to testing it and you were right. Had to file the braze on slot a bit to get the derailleur lower, but since I did the chain hasn't dropped once. Thanks!

Where the flower market is?

I never walk in mine without putting cleat covers on to be a fair. If you need to walk they will preserve the lifespan of your cleats significantly

Just ditch grip cleats all together and they can't fall off anymore. The non grip ones engage and feel better anyway.

I switch every year usually so will enquire how smart their meters are and hold fire if its the dumber one.

Smart eh?

More like dumb as fuck. I didn't realise they were provider specific. If I changed supplier, I presume the new one be able to come and replace with their own variant?

I keep getting spammed by my energy provider to say they are in the area and want to install smart meters for my gas and electricity. Should I say yes? Getting annoying now.

Bought an induction hob from them for a good price. No issues at all.

Don't think so. Rings only have 1000 miles on them.

Can anyone suggest why every once in a while my chain drops off the big ring on to the little / beyond on to the BB cluster. Tends to happen in bumpier roads, but occasionally it will happen when I rear shift.

Everything seems fine in the stand

That website is shit, it will never take off.

Virgin. Checked with them and service is fine, but that doesn't mean the network is running, eg say there was a power cut to my house.

IT question from a total noob. Is there an easy way I can check to see if my internet at home is up and running when I'm out?

@Miitch It will do the job. I had one, but I found packing in to it to be a real ball ache. Lining it all up is like a very challenging puzzle you're not sure is solvable. It's strong though and for the money pretty decent. I used mine for two trips to mallorca and nothing broke.

I ended up selling mine and paying double for an alan. Do not regret, so much easier to pack.

Yeah figured. Do they all use the same keys do you know? Need to replace 4 handles and would be irritating if they all had their own key.
