Bike shop would be able to fix this in minutes (assuming that is indeed the issue). Ask them if you can watch and have them explain. If they are a LBS they'd probably oblige and then you'd know for the next time.
Good luck!

Jamis Exile II 29er
Became sold on 29ers... tried a lot of them. I kept my budget around $1k (saving money for the big white thing behind the bike). For the money and components I like the frame of the Exile II the best ATTACH=CONFIG]126800[/ATTACH]

Sounds like you just need to tune your derailleur. It's just a minor adjustment on 2 screws for your rear gears. It can be rather tricky to figure out though. Watch a few YouTube vids and you can prob get it. Do very small adjustments at first. Cause if you make it worse it's a pain to get back if you aren't keeping track of how much you are turning the screws.
