i have an issue with my front derailleur; i put in a sealed bottom bracket and it pushed my chainline out just a tiny bit, but it's enough to make the inside ring just barely shiftable.
also, the limit adjuster screws got corroded into the housing, and i stripped the heads getting them free. i can turn them with great effort, but days are numbered.
so, i'm going to have to replace it anyway, should i go for a later derailleur?
any opinions?

thanks,
Replace them. They're just a 2mm screw.
