Don't you wish your LBS mechanic offered this service?

Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Imagine, you're on your training ride, the derailler feels off and needs adjustment but you don't want to stop. No prob...

Isn't that why we often have cable screws near the handlebars?

it doesn't get interesting until the FD adjustment needs to be done on the limit screws.
