A Day....

This is the way I woke up

This was the problem of the day. Though we did just have that bearing cleaning post, still little cartriges after a lot of miles do blow out.

With the help of a trusty tent peg I found at a camp spot on Cotopaxi. I tapped out what was left of the the busted bearing (seen on left) 

But the issue was, I havent been carring a 9mm socket to tighten everything back on with. So I visited this well stocked little bici shed in Humachuco and bought a 3 way socket wrench. 

Then I hung out and chatted about this cargo bike's leaf spring suspension retrofit. A.K.A.- block of wood being installed with a hammer.  And yes, those are brake shoes made from and old tire. I love Peru

A little visit to a work shop

One 9mm socket for pedal fixins. I have no 8mm or 10mm bolts. Why carry more than you need to?

and then I hung out with this dude on my way to get supplies and head for the hills.

  2. You woudn't say that if you saw me wearing a pair of speedos. I'm about as skin and bones as I've ever been. Eating like a mule too.
