Here's a quick primer on bonsai - and how it can help you get things done

A quick primer on bonsai - and how it can help you get things done

Checklists are more than ToDo Lists: A todo list is something you do once, bonsai is for stuff you'll re-use, expand on, or assign to or share with others.

Copy/Extend lists: You can copy or extend lists and make them your own or have multiple copies

Subscriptions: You can Subscribe - save others' lists - and have them handy, including updates

Attachments: You can attach files or GIFs to any list Click the paperclip here to view or attach items

Re-use a list: <a href="https://app.trybonsai.com/checklists/uWCosB3ZS/runs/Ybfc9omkB" target="_self">you can make "Runs" of a list</a> each time you use them

Share a List: You can share a <a href="https://app.trybonsai.com/checklists/uWCosB3ZS" target="_self">link</a> to this list

Editing is straightforward: You can indent items too

You can have bold, italic, and <del>strikethrough</del> formatting

Hyperlinks: You can add a <a href="https://google.com/" target="_self">hyperlink</a> to any <a href="https://youtube.com/" target="_self">piece</a> of text, and hovering shows you the link, not a click-tracking URL

Embed a List: The item below is actually another list - embedded here.

QR Codes: Make a QR code to attach a checklist to a physical object. Click QR code at bottom of any checklist 👇

<a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08GK6SPLS" target="_self">NFC Tags</a>: a simple phone tap can bring up any checklist or process run

Marvel Cinematic Universe in chronological order of events

A basic weekly safety check of all the [main working parts of a bike](https://external-preview.redd.it/QSrUR0LJunoT8G8lTNQqm5P6K1ruXQ3W54ocN4H46oo.jpg?auto=webp&s=3f2287f1758bba460efb4bc5f9b9b4d854d04e1c)

Check that the wheels are safely attached

For Quick Release Levers:

turn the nut on the other side until it’s tight against the fork or frame

open the lever and give the nut another full turn or so

now test that you are able to tighten the quick-release firmly without forcing it

Bolt-thru axles will usually be threaded through the hub and screwed into the opposing fork leg or chainstay. Before riding, you need to make sure the closure system is secured.

&nbsp;rock the wheel side to side to check for play or sideways movement.

&nbsp;If you hear grinding, or if it sounds rough, it might be time for a <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_axwV6sfaAs" target="_self">bearing replacement</a>

while the wheel is spinning, check that the disc or wheel rim is running cleanly through the brake caliper

if the rim is rubbing, you may need to <a href="https://www.bikeradar.com/advice/workshop/how-to-adjust-road-bike-brakes-video/" target="_self">adjust the brakes</a> or <a href="https://techtalk.mpbrakes.com/how-to-series/rear-brake-caliper-adjustment" target="_self">caliper</a>

Squeeze the brake levers

if they feel spongy, they may need to be <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RKZ6FIH6yzc" target="_self">bled</a>

if they don't feel firm, you may need to <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pz58MA1Qe3Y" target="_self">adjust your cable tension</a> or to <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xqw0SaZl-jo" target="_self">replace your disc brake pads</a>

Examine the bead where the tire meets the rim. Make sure the bead looks uniform all the way around. If it doesn’t you may need to reinstall the tire.

Check sidewalls for excessive wear or damage

If you have a tubeless tire, pop open the bead and check that the sealant hasn’t dried out

Check Fork and Suspension

inspect your fork for hairline cracks or any other kind of damage

With front and rear air suspension, it’s also worth <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xhnKTZu2AKs&t=91s" target="_self">checking that the sag </a>is set correctly

check for excessive suspension fluid near the bolts

rock the fork forward and back to see if there is any obvious play

If you notice the bike <a href="https://www.endurobearings.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/BicyclenoiseV4.pdf" target="_self">knocking,</a> try to isolate where it’s coming from by placing your fingers on the joints

Lift the wheel and slowly turn the bar.&nbsp;

if you hear grinding or if you feel a lot of resistance, it may be time to <a href="https://youtu.be/8X3LbcjsESw" target="_self">replace your headset</a>

Hold the front wheel straight with your knees and push on the bar. You should be able to apply a reasonable amount of force without the stem turning on the steerer tube.

Stand over the bike and rotate the bar forward and back

If you have drop handle bars, push on those too

There should be no movement of the bars or the grips

If you have flat handlebars, check that the brake levers and shifters are securely fixed

Check that frame accessories are firmly attached

Visually inspect the entire frame for cracks around welds

<a href="https://www.worldwidecyclery.com/blogs/worldwide-cyclery-blog/how-to-measure-shock-hardware" target="_self">Check the shock mounting bolts</a>

Give the cranks a backward spin

if the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JFgB3hIvpuM" target="_self">drivetrain </a>is running smoothly, the bottom bracket should also be running smoothly

Check the chainrings for <a href="https://www.bikeforums.net/bicycle-mechanics/1142890-what-symptoms-chainrings-needing-replacement.html" target="_self">missing or damaged teeth</a>

Rock the cranks toward the frame

Check for check for any grinding, resistance or play.&nbsp;

If you feel any play, it may be time to <a href="https://youtu.be/BPX8Hv3Pjk0" target="_self">replace the bottom bracket</a>

Give them a spin.  The pedal should not spin freely because of friction from the grease

If the pedals are spinning too freely or if the pedal body is moving, you may need to <a href="https://www.bikeradar.com/advice/workshop/how-to-change-bike-pedals/" target="_self">replace the pedals</a>

<a href="https://youtu.be/1cKdWWGGm7w" target="_self">remove</a> the post

<a href="https://youtu.be/Q7acUFC2goQ" target="_self">clean and grease the post</a>

If you have aluminum, titanium, or steel components, apply some grease before reinstalling

If you have a carbon seatpost, you’ll need to apply <a href="https://www.bikeforums.net/bicycle-mechanics/1124671-carbon-assembly-paste-what-does-do.html" target="_self">carbon grip paste</a> instead to increase friction

reinstall the post, and c<a href="https://youtu.be/9Dq8WiRfgfQ" target="_self">heck that the saddle is securely mounted in the clamp</a>

Pedal by hand to check that the chain runs cleanly, with no stiff links

Shift the front and rear derailleurs through their range of gears

The chain should shift up or down one set of teeth for every click of the relevant shifter. If the chain doesn’t shift in this way, is hesitant, or drops off the teeth, you may need to <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DNqVOPVd_sY" target="_self">replace the drivetrain</a>
