Gears won't change

furrag

I installed some second hand Ultegra 6510 ( 9 speed), replacing my Sora ST3400 (9 speed). When I made the changes, the bike was in it's lowest gear (39-25).

I used the same gear cable, transferring them to the new shifters. I have had to cut the inner cable slightly though. I've pulled the cable tight as I can to install. The rear mech itself is in a horizontal position, thus pulling the chain tight, and is so far out it chucks the chain off onto the chainstays. The front one was pulled tight too, and doesn't respond when shifting.

As I move through the shifters there is no movement in either front or rear mech.

I watched the 'how to change a gear inner cable' on Biketutor.com, but I seemo be having problems. The cables are in the correct shifters too; front mech controlled by left shifter, and rear mech controlled by the right shifter.

What have I done wrong? :?

You've definitely zero'd out the levers (until all the small clicks have run out) and made sure the cable ends are sat snuggly in the gear mechanism?

After suggesting those, I'm all out of ideas!

Yes on the shifter front!

Cheers lads. I'll let this die then and post in the workshop.
