Looking forward to bringing my new bike up Diablo this morning and things were going well, but I kept hearing this humming whiney noise - turns out my brakes were rubbing the rotor just a hair and the effect was like when you make a wine glass sing. I've never had disk brakes before, and I don't know how to adjust them, but I figured there was a screw somewhere that opened up the calipers for situations like this.
So I turned around at the kiosk and went back to the bike store and they pretty much fixed it... the mechanic (Scott!) said he got it so it wouldn't slow me down, but it was still making a little noise so I should give it a break-in (HA!) period and then re-evaluate.
So that was a little disappointing, but a few growing pains I guess are to be expected.
- I've never had a carbon fiber bike before
- I've never had electronic shifting before
- I've never had disk brakes before
- I've never had more than 10 cogs on a cassette before

Hey Scott!! I must have seen you but didn't know it was you!! Your new bike sounds really tricked out! It was a great day out there today. I was on my way to a winery in Livermore to pick up my allotment...lol. Thanks for the shout-out! :)
