Wish I was back down there, real bummer up here as it is raining every day. Check every day and you should be OK for awhile and slow down for the topes.

Ok, thanks for the additional info Bob. I'm learning a lot about bolts and metal that I didn't know I didn't know! :-)
We're in Quetzalentango now, riding here was fine. I'm waiting for the drill through kit to arrive in Guatemala City in a week or two. No serious riding until then I reckon. I might keep my eyes out for some stronger bolts to swap them out before the kit arrives. Otherwise I have spares on hand and they're not sealed in, so hopefully they'll come out easiliy if they do break!
