  1. I thought I would take my bike (new last fall < 250 miles on it) out
    for a spring test run, even though there is still a fair amount of snow
    on the ground. When I tried to shift to the smallest two cogs, I
    discovered that I had no more "clicks" left.
    The system shifts up and down the remaining cogs with no problem, but
    its as if I am missing the two bottom rachets.
    Any suggestions? 250 miles seems too early for a rebuild.

    Thanks.

    If you mean you can't reach the two inside (lowest) gears,
    ensure that the first click moves from high to the next
    gear. (if the gear wire is loose, the first click does nothing)

    If you mean you cannot return to the two outside (highest)
    cogs, shift to high in front and get your head behind the
    changer. See if the cage is roughly parallel to the
    chainrings. A bike that's been dropped on the right side
    will show a changer that's canted inward at ten, twenty,
    thirty degrees - enough to show your symptom.
