Also, forgot that you can change the derailleur alignment. But where would i find that screw? I don't want to tweak around with the wrong screws[/QUOTE]
Here's a quick and dirty picture. you may have a hex nut rather than an allen head nut for the cable clamping screw, but it does the same thing. and you can't really see the set screws but they should be located about where the line points in the picture.
Also, check to make sure your deraileur is in allighment, ie, that your hanger is still straight. Do your pulleys track fairly true to the direction of the chain (they should)? And are the pulleys angled inward or outward (they shouldn't be)?
