Almost every bike store recommends you to get a tune up right after the breaking in period. When the bike has been sitting in a shop after it's put together, nothing is moving. After you have ridden it a few times the chain has stretched. If you have brake and/or shifting cables, they too have stretched. Most bike shops, and stores that sell bikes, give a free tune up in the first 30 days so they can tighten all of the cables and moving parts that are supposed to loosen up as you begin to ride the bike. It shouldn't be disappointing. It's how bikes are designed. Would you want worn cables and chains put on a new bike?
