Had a bit of mixed fortune for today.I have a good sunny weather and a nice camping ground at end of day. The not so good news is I had another chain snapped which i did the repair in 30 min. What actually I am worried about is my flywheel, i did stop at a bike shop in Bifuka, the owner mechanic removed the cassette with the special tool,and service with some lube spray on it, still the problem is not solved, guess must be the hub need to replace,but he don't have a spare hub, he charges 500 yen for the service. Now the flywheel is still working,but intermittently disengaged, sooner or later it will breakdown completely,the question is just WHEN?? Hopefully i can find a spare hub in a big town of Asahikawa. The weather forecast for tomorrow and day after will be raining at 50% chance.Tonight's Sunpillar camp ground need to detour 4.5 km from the main road 40. Luckily the camp ground did not disappoint me, it was really nice equipped with power and lighting in the kitchen hut which i set my tent on. And its free,the only setback is the fierce attacked by the mozzies and the possibility of bear attack as shown by the warning sign displayed.
