Columbia, huh? That's quite a trip. Make sure you allow enough time to go through customs. I'm sure they're gonna want to make sure you're not smuggling in any of that Columbian marching powder that's so popular here in the States.
Regardless of where it is, I think it's a good idea to take it to the shop. There is a little widget called a star-nut installation tool, and I'm sure they'd have one. It's supposed to make sure it doesn't go in all crooked-like, or something. In anycase, I've broken more than a few things by not using the right tool, and (according to Lennard Zinn) this little installation do-dad sounds like the right tool.
I'm happy to hear you got your new stuff. But if your bike is rideable again, does that mean your post count will fall off?
