Hi guys,
Just got a couple of problems with my new Allez, im a beginner so please go easy on me! when i am riding the bike is not allowing me to go down to 1st gear i.e onto the smaller cog at the front. Also the chain sounds really quite loud for a new bike, i think there may be a problem with the front and rear derailleur. It sounds like the chain is scraping against the front derailleur and on the bike it sounds like its crunching some of the chains. It still rides fine, I know i should just take it back to the bike shop but may be a good way of learning a thing or two but if needs be i will.
Thanks in advance
