OK just building a new bike fitted the front mech clicked it down to the small ring all the way on the shifters ran the cable through and now it wont go into the big ring. The shifter clicks into the middle then nothing will move. Any ideas?
Probably needs cable pulling through a bit more.
nope tight as
Or the outer limit screw may need adjusting.
wound it all the way out its as iff the mech only changes into 2 gears
can you pull the mech out far enough to get to third with the cable detached?
If yes then mech or cable at fault.
mech will move over when i push it and change gear when i connect the cable the shifter will only click on one click however it works ok if i just pull the cable and change gear?
the shifter is three gear and is defineltly in bottom?
Pull cale as you click down to ensure this.
cable not catching anywhere when pulled?

yep works fine when i pull it and change shifter is in granny gear position new cable too
Disconnect the cable from the mech completely, and pull on it as you change gear to see whether the fault is in the shifter.You may find that you've put the cable in incorrectly and it's jamming, or maybe the shifter's broken just by co-incidence.
Its not one of those double and bash front mechs is it?

done all of the above and it still wont shift into the big ring
