Some expansion and contraction can be expected and it usually worse in the fall and spring when there are larger temperature swings between day and night.

i have pulled my old searider out of my cool garage on a chilly morning with what appeared to be flat tubes only for an hour later out in the sun for them to be nice and hard again .there can be quite a difference if they get cold enough overnight
