I'm most worried about that too. With no 8's or 10's in a 56 for me to try. It's difficult. I did already test ride a caad 8, synapse carbon, and Domane 2.0 all 58 and they feel right. I liked the "stiff" more connective to the road feel of the Caad8. Now after finding a caad10 105 in 56 on CL and reading a few post about people "typically go down a size" at other forums I came here to the cult for support.
