Im new too - I found the same thing, yes its likely you'll need a new chain if you are using larger rings and if you are used to bashing big rings my first ss was a bit of a sewing machine I found I was pedalling with a faster cadance than comfortable and still wanted to push a bigger ring
I have decided to go up to a 50t front ring 16 at the back (might be a bit ambitious in a headwind) as my ride to work is 10 miles in a pretty much straight line. through trial and error you should find it.
*ps think this should be moved to what gear ratios do you ride?
