Rear derailleur hanger
I felt something strange about rear derailleur.
because, sometime suddenly changed gear when I did not excepted.
So that, I went to a Giant store to check about it.
I thought, a wire or a chain should be extened. becaue I ride more than 2000km already.
But…
After checking my bike, a staff told me a rear derailleur hanger was broken. a little bit bend. then asked me that did I fall down to right side before? Or something hit when I carrin in ( Rinkou)?
Yes, I remember that I felt down right side twice a few month ago. (Tachigoke!!)
A rear derailleur hanger is a very sensitive part. because it protect flame.
This is the rear derailleur hanger. it was broken.
There is a hanger between rear derailleur and flame.

Open Street Map for GARMIN EDGE520J Review
OSM (Open Street MAP) for GARMIN EDGE520J Review
It seems that I can replace the default map of Garmin Edge520J.
Default map is not useful for me.
So, I searched a map called OSM.
Here is a one of poplar site:
Free maps for Garmin brand GPS devices from OpenStreetMap
http://garmin.openstreetmap.nl/
However, I did not try this.
I don’t think it is for Japanese people.
OpenStreetMap for GARMIN
In this time, I introduce this map.
ATTENTION: This is UNSUPPORT way of GARMIN.
ATTENTION: This is still a Beta Map as of May 3, 2016.
I downloaded a file named “EDGE520J_NE_160422.zip” released in April 22, 2016.
It support ONLY North East of Japan area.
(There are another area files)
