My recommendation would be to take it to a local bicycle mechanic who is experienced (no rookies on this job) and ask them to fix the derailleur.<br /><br />If they can fix it right in front of you that would be great because then you could watch and see what they do, but most bike shops have a backlog of bikes to fix and you might have to wait a couple days to get your bicycle back.CMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10466716759836529168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4021974943984835368.post-23379752530493384762012-07-10T18:48:45.961-07:002012-07-10T18:48:45.961-07:00I have an Apollo Altitude 21 speed bike, recently ...I have an Apollo Altitude 21 speed bike, recently I went riding on some trails and a stick got stuck in the derailer. When I removed the stick, I was able to use the high gears no problem, but the moment I went to go down the gears, my chain becomes really loose and my derailer doesnt want to move.<br /><br />Do you have any tips on how to fix this problem please?<br /><br />JoshAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07164670374573157698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4021974943984835368.post-64636408788386048792012-02-09T08:57:44.858-08:002012-02-09T08:57:44.858-08:00What do you mean by sticks and where exactly?

There is 2 different possibilities that I can think of for why that might be happening.<br /><br />The most likely cause is the spring isn't popping the calipers back out into place and you need to tighten the screw which adjusts the spring. You may need to adjust both screws on each side so it evens out and the calipers bounce back nicely when the brakes aren't being used.CMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10466716759836529168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4021974943984835368.post-43887846278455430372011-08-08T10:52:50.034-07:002011-08-08T10:52:50.034-07:00If a caliper brake pad sticks when it contacts the...If a caliper brake pad sticks when it contacts the rim, how do you fix that?Benhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00961730330848873802noreply@blogger.com
