It should clear the second-to-last, but yes, if it's an old 32-max mech it
won't pull back far enough away from that big 36 cog to drop the chain on
it.

Try pulling the cable where it runs along the chainstay by hand. If it
shifts up into 34/36 then you may need to take a little slack out of the
cable.

Double check that the gear cable didn't hop out of the cast-in guides on
the bottom bracket. In the work stand I tend to move the shifters unlike I
do on the road and sometimes advance the cable without crank rotation to
allow the derailleur to move laterally, producing slack enough to let the

What shift lever are you using? Knowing that, I (or several others here)
could give you a very specific step by step procedure to follow.

William,
I am using the Shimano bar end shifters that came off my son's LHT.
Thanks

OK, great, that provides an excellent clue. Here is a very common mistake.
Sometimes when you pull OFF the bar end shifter from a bike, the shifter
is in an up position, like it was in the middle of the cassette. Then,
when you reinstall it onto the barend pod you put it in the down
If this were the case, could one switch from index to friction get all
the cogs? Or does incorrect position of the washer alter the travel of the
lever?

William,
That is great info. I could have certainly done that with the washer, I
wasn't even aware of this. I am novice bike mechanic at best. However I
wasn't able to shift into the largest two cogs in friction mode either.

First of all, good on you for building up an Atlantis for your wife!
Regarding the rear shifting, have you tried adjusting the derailleur set
screws?

Is the B screw pulling the derailleur back far enough so that it clears the
largest cog?
Are you trying to shift into the largest cog on the rear while you're on the
largest front chain ring?
Is your chain long enough?
Did you make sure that the shifter lever was bottomed out when you
Your LX derailer may not be rated to a 36-tooth cog. Older ones went to 32,
then later 34. I think the newest SGS versions climb to 36, but I'm not
certain. Do you know what generation/model you have?
