(you DO carry carry a chain-splitter tool, air pump, patch kit, tools, just checking)

And there is a way to measure derailleur spring back-tension of course.

The next question would be check lateral run-out of gears. Warped disks.
They can tweek L/R but they should not. Not compared to knees.
Like a saw blade.
