[Closed] New bike - chain skipping

A friend of mine has just bought a new bike (canyon nerve 6 AM I think). Anyway on the first ride out the chain/rear mech seemed to be skipping a bit under load. It was like the kind of skipping you get when you put a new chain on an old cassette.

Whats the problem likely to be seen as its all completely spanking new?

Cheers in advance!

Its probably just set up wrong, the new cables will strech in time and willneed re setting as well

Initial cable stretch and other bit of the bike settling which is why bike shops offer a free service within in the first month to sort these things out (the shops I know do anyway)
