Tire pressure is a given. I also check wheel thru axles and brakes at a minimum. If you are still using quick release skewers instead of thru axles, it’s even more important to check. Also hydraulic brake pressure, especially if removing a wheel in transit to the trail or have been off the bike for a while. Unfortunately (or fortunately), I check these two after some very scary close calls. You do NOT want a wheel coming off or heading into a decent with no brakes.
