I have mountain biked for a couple of years but just recently got into road cycling. I also just bought my first new bike which happens to be a 09 Kuota Kharma. The bike looks great and has the Shimano Ultegra gruppo on it. My question is, when I was riding this afternoon I was in a chosen gear and I approached a large hill in my neighborhood and as I started my climb it either changing gears on me or skipping the cogs. I tried this on both the smaller and larger rings and this happened both times. Even on a small incline when I was cranking it out it would this. Now remember this brand new bike. I'm pretty sure this isn't supposed to happen so if you guys and gals have any insight or know whats going on please chime in.
