You need to set up your rear deraileur.

Look for a video on youtube and read Sheldon Brown.

Ok so I've loosened the H screw to pull the derailer towards the small outer cog and nothing has happened I've also loosened the tension nothing seems to be pulling the derailer outwards and onto the final few cogs I'm really stuck the YouTube vids seem to be just for tweaking the alignment but in my case it's out by half an inch I'm stuck some1 please help or I will have to admit defeat and go to the LBS

Unscrew both stops right out, disconnect the cable and see if the mech moves so the top jockey is at least in line with the outer cog

Thanks chunkers that seemed to work but I found the cable to be damaged at the lever end so replaced that and everything is fine cheers
