Weird sounds when pedaling
#1
I don't know a whole lot about bikes, but I've been trying to learn. I have a Cannondale CAAD9 and lately I've been having some troubles with the derailleur and shifting. The most recent problem: when I start pedaling, the bike clicks and rides really choppy. It feels like it's trying to shift gears when I'm not shifting and clicks a lot. This is only a problem when I'm riding- I've set it up and tried to adjust the cable tension and then it seems fine, but when I start riding it, it acts up again.

Apologies for my limited knowledge about the problem- I wish I could describe it better than this but any input is greatly appreciated!
