New to cycling and picked up a CAAD9-7 about 10 days ago. My question is should I have spent the extra $400-500 for the 5...? Are the components on the 5 that much better...?
Also when shifting is there a proper technique...? Seems alot of times I have to hit the lever twice to get it to change gear. Should I hold the lever until the gear change is achieved or what?
I'm having buyers remorse cause I feel I should have gone with a bike with better components. Hopefully the comps on the 7 are ok though. Like I said I'm new so I don't know the differences at this point.
I really like riding though and have done about 30 miles over the last 3 days and feel this will stick.
