chain problem, link turns up
I'm building my first bike and I'm stuck on a problem I'm having with the chain. There is one link that when it hits the rear derailleaur, it turns up and creates a bump in the chain rotation. It turns up at both wheels on the derailleaur and when it hits the cassette. I don't know if this is the link where I inserted the pin to put it together. It is a shimano dura ace chain and all the parts are 9 speed dura ace 7700 series. Should I just pop out the pin and put in a new one or is there another solution?

Make sure when you're adjusting it with the chain tool that you hear a nice pop sound, that usually means the rivet's popped into its slot.
