I'm into bikes for a long time, but I still haven't got how to do maintenance of the bicycle myself so I only know how to change a tire and put some grease on the chain. I'd like to know the list of stuff I should check in my bike and how to fix/update it in different situation. I know, it's a really deep question that need a lot of typing, so I rather expect you share some links on reliable sources that fully cover the question.

Part of the reason we don't like link-answer questions is that link-rot will mean that most of the links will break in a few years. This is also why we prefer more focused questions that can be answered in-text.– RoboKarenJul 25, 2017 at 0:45
