In this case we just need to thread the end of the inner cable into the cable stop and through the tiny hole in its base. This will allow the inner cable to enter the down tube.
Remove the bolt which retains the plastic cable guide. You'll need to poke your fingers into the bottom bracket shell and into the bottom of the downtube.
There will most likely be a step edge stopping the inner cable from just poking into the BB shell. Feel around for the cable end and coax it through. Now the tricky bit: Pull the cable through and as you do slide the guide back up the cable and work it back inside the bottom bracket shell and into its normal position.
As you do this you also need to slot the end of the inner cable up the inside of the right hand chainstay. Secure the guide with the 4mm Allen key. It takes patience of a saint and the fingers of a child to manage it cleanly.
Worry not, even the best mechanics find this tricky. The end of the inner cable is inside the chainstay. On this bike the black panel unscrews and you can pick the end out. Thread the black housing on to the cable and re-screw.

Making the chain ride up and engage with another cog is a combination of your smooth pedalling action and a crisp clean shift. Sometimes you need to press your lever or twist your wrist just that little bit more before you release it. Aim for a good firm shift rather than a cautious hesitant one.
With derailleur gears, you cannot change gear when you are stationery and changing out of the wrong gear whilst you are going slowly or pedalling up a hill for example can be very difficult.
