Bikes: '96 Litespeed Catalyst, '05 Litespeed Firenze, '06 Litespeed Tuscany, '20 Surly Midnight Special, All are 3x10. It is hilly around here!

+1 on relubing the hubs and headset and the bottom bracket too unless it's a cartridge. After all that time the grease may have dried out to the point it's not functional and riding the bike in that condition will quickly damage the bearings.
