Well, I installed the new hanger and the derailleur looks somewhat straighter, but still it won't shift into the highest gear without coaxing.

I'm starting to think that the old Alivio derailleur is just too worn out to work properly. It seems like it just isn't pulling hard enough on the cable in the high gears. In fact, no matter how far I let out the H screw, I can't get the chain to run off the small gears into the frame (even after disconnecting the cable).

Maybe I just have derailleur envy, but it may be time for a new one. Any suggestions for something that will work on an old IG 7 speed? Can I just pick up any 8/9 speed derailleur?
