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?

My disappointment lies with how busy bike stores are even for service appointments these days. It's a bit more challenging than normal times to get a quick fix.
