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.
