Got new Cannondale, it has issues. I don't know what's normal or not...

LBS is pretty far away... so thanks in advance before I bring this back to them.

On the larger front cog, EVERY setting clicks when I pedal. It's coming from the cassette, I think.
On my old bike with grip shifts, I"d just trim it a little and it would be fine. I cant' figure out how to do that on the CAAD 10 5. Every single one is just... noisy.

When the bike coasts - it clicks. Even my trek hybrid doesn't do this - I'm used to hearing this on department store bikes. Is this normal?

Brakes feel pretty weak in comparison to my hybrid. Maybe I'm just not used to them, but it feels like I'm going to bust the 105's levers when I'm in a hurry to stop. Do they need a break in?

The white plastic disc behind the cassette - it's not really connected to everything. Just two of the spokes. It bumps around and wobbles. Can I just cut this thing off?


Thanks in advance.
