Hi, I'm new to the forum and this is my first post. I don't quite know how to explain it but will try to do the best I can.
I have a Mongoose mountain bike which I picked up for nothing. It had 2 broken spokes which I fixed quite easily. Bike works really well apart from the gears for the back sproket. It will change from 4 to 7 and back from 7 to 4 but then doesn't go any further. I have uploaded a Youtube video

I don't know what the parts are but there is a little cog that works like a ratchet. Once this gets to 4 it reaches the max for the lever. i.e. there are 3 more clicks it can go, but the lever has reached its max 'push'. I hope the video explains better and I hope someone can tell me if this can be adjusted or if I have to buy a new part.
Thanks.
