- Remove, clean and lube chain (I usually just pop this off on Friday, soak until Sunday morning, let drip dry, then lube.)
- Scrub cassette, maybe remove and do so
- Check that wheels are true, fix if needed
- Clean miscellaneous dirt
- Run derailleurs to limits and adjust if needed
As needed
- Rebuild wheel hubs
- Replace chain/cassette/tires/brake pads
- Replace bar tape, etc.
Yep this is what works best for me too. The only other thing that I do each week is to check and tighten the brackets and fittings on my lights. If I don't, they start to vibrate and make too much racket the following week. I also do a quick battery/brightness check.
