There are a cluster of bicycle shops in Medellin, Colombia, around the junction of Carrera 52 and Calle 55. Colbic seemed to be the best of the bunch, so i took my bike in there. The mechanics name was David, so i knew that I would be alright! An hour and a half later, and the rear hub problem is solved, along with the gear skipping issues which are such a pain on the mountains.

 I spent the rest of the day wandering around the centre, and had a quick look in the Municipal Palace.

Tomorrow, I need to head south, and start putting in some bigger days if I am to reach ecuador before my 30 day visa for Colombia expires.

Note -  A big thank you to Blood, Sweat and Gears (what a cool name!!) for your kind donation. Let me know if you are getting a site up and running Chad so i can give it a nice shout out !!!
