Renewing gear cable Campag Athena HELP
Don't want to sound daft but I have a problem changing the gear cable on my Athena groupset (campag novice!)
So I had a very slight down shifting issue and decided to renew the rear gear cable. Set it all up and found the rear mech would upshift but only down shift (to the smaller rings) two cogs then would not move down any further. I re-routed the cable again and now the rear mech wont downshift at all.
Is it possible the shifter was in the wrong position when I threaded the inner gear cable through? It is possible to "reset the shifter" to the lowest gear without a cable being fitted as it seems this is what I need to do if you understand what I mean.

Here's edited instructions from my Chorus 10 instruction manual. Put chain on smallest cassette sprocket with control button zeroed - pressed down as far as it will go. Clamp cable under rear mech. Position chain on fourth sprocket counting from smallest. Turn cable adjuster until centre of top roller and centre of fourth sprocket are exactly aligned. Check chain moves smoothly to all cogs. Check derailleur positions chain on largest sprocket. If not, turn stop screw until it does. Do same with smallest sprocket.
Edit: as you click button to zero position, pull on end of cable to prevent any slack in system.
