My gears seem to be making some noise when I pedal. It's not very loud, but it also feels a bit rough. I never really noticed it until after I came back from a ride and hopped on my dad's bike to try it out and noticed how smooth and quiet it was and I have better deraillieurs (Shimano 105) than him. Also, something that he pointed out was how loud the ticking was when I was coasting.

Could this be the front and rear derailleurs out of alignment? How much noise should the bike really make? It's a Specialized Dolce Elite, it's only three months old and has about 260 miles on it.

Just wondering if it's something I shoul brave the bike shop with...don't want to be laughed out of there when they tell me it's supposd to make noise.
