Your story is very similar to my story. When I first started riding as an adult I was influenced by racing. I emulated what I saw on TV and pretty soon began the slippery slope of racing, group rides and always trying to beat the guy in the pack or be the person who doesn't get dropped. After s

I am in the process of building up my Sam and I ran into a frustrating snag with a brand new chain. Using the Sheldon Browne method for sizing a chain I put the chain on big/big without the rear der. and found that the chain was one or two links short. The gearing is 48 front and 34 on the rear

Update for me as well. Called Riv and confirmed that it would not be uncommon for a 62 Sam with a 48/34 big big to result in a new chain being a tad short. I added a link or two and connected it all with two quick links. Guys at Riv said they have done the same on their own bikes without issue.
