Hope some citizen bike owners can answer that here.
I have owned two Citizen Miami's, and yes they do tune them before they go out.Both of mine were fully set to go without any problems,however mistakes do happen once and a while.Also,the OP did say it was his first bike with gears,the grinding noise may not be the bikes fault and we've all been there.
