Help with ergo 10 speed levers

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.

Got a little cable stretch thing going. Take your bike back to the shop and
have them do a complimentary 250 mile tuneup, which will mostly consist of
tightening your cables and lubing your chain.

Speaking of lube, I'd recommend Slick Willy Bike Lube
(http://www.slickwillylube.com/). Great stuff, lasts forever, and the
inventor is a teammate of mine.

Sorry. Rear der cable housing ferrule had popped out of the chain stay
guide.
I'll crawl back under my rock now.
Thanks.

Another vexing problem handily solved by the good people at r.b.t.

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.
