I recently got a CB-Curve and was wondering what the normal levels of discomfort were for a newbie and what type of discomfort/pain is an obvious sign that i need to adjust something, aside from pinching.

I think there is no common definition of that - it all depends on personal limits, anatomy etc...

But in general, at least this:
- no reduced blood flow for an extended amount of time (blood flow should never be significantly restricted for more than just a few minutes at a time and preferably never completely blocked at all)
- serious ball pain is never good - they are fairly fragile, fairly important to most people, and therefore to be treated with care. Mild discomfort is to be expected, at least for a beginner, but if anything significant does not subside fairly quickly, the device most likely needs adjustment.

I could use more details to really answer this question properly
but here are some thing to look out for/ semi-answers

(1) If it hurts while you are awake and not watching porn it should do so only VERY rarely like it got caught, pinched.
some simple pulling on balls is all that should be necessary. Kind of the way you have to occasionally adjust for super tight underwear. If this is a common issue you should change cages!
(2) the morning erection can cause pain
now there are levels of pain from discomfort to OH SHIT!!! as long as the discomfort/pain is something that you might sort of wake to but does not make you get out of bed and grab a key to unlock
I would say keep the cage, Exceptions you really hate pain.. well you may want to do shopping then...

I own several cages one I can only wear for short periods of time, because it is a Kali cage and designed to cause pain.. and others I could keep on 7 days strait, never taking it off even for work.

on a personal note You can not bicycle in any cage, not even a plastic one
the problem is if you get a pinch it is damn tough to fix in public!
As a dom, I make an exception for one of my subbies who bikes to work he takes cage and puts it on at work

as I said during the day when not watching porn I would say you should only experience mild discomfit like a brief, fixable pinching.. on rare occasions
4 or 5 times all day long.
If it is greater try and figure out why

one of the best ways I have found to avoid pinching is a little bit of medical tape, which is very inexpensive and can be left on the cage for a long time and generally does not cause any difficulties on your skin

If you find this post not helpful I will gladly try and problem solve more, but please share details such as how often you are having pain, if you are doing something like :exercise or work and how much pain you are feeling at different times
pain is rated 1 to 10
1 is I can barely feel it AND 10 is I think there is a knife cutting me open/ or I have been shot

Except for very hard erection, i don't think there should be any pain at all. Discomfort, however, is a different matter, be prepared for some late night turning until you get used to it.

As for painful erections, i found doggy position and thinking of something else (videogames, work, whatever) to be a reasonably quick fix. I haven't been locked for more than a few days at time though.
