I definitely want to do that. Unfortunately I don’t have confidence in my ability to do it and not brake the bike. Of course, the bike shops are at limited capacity. To bring it in for service I have to make an appointment just to drop it off, and they’ll have it for like 3 weeks. So I was thinking when I can get it in there, they can do all of that, and adjust the derailleurs and true the wheels. And if the derailleurs still skip, get some new ones. How about the chain? That has to be worn out by now!
