Rim troubles partially solved

Busy day trying to get my rim problems resolved after realizing that both the front and rear got severely damaged in that nasty pothole about the size and depth of a bathtub! Front one was beyond repair and needed to be replaced, but no choice there, I had to go with a steel one since no aluminum one was available in San Salvador, at least the bike feels back to normal and I feel better knowing that now it can't break on me. Tomorrow we're heading for Honduras and hopefully Nicaragua by the end of the day.
