Rear derailleur hanger

Pocket

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.

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.

Default Map of GARMIN EDGE520J

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

http://osm-for-garmin.org/

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)
