Hello fellow Poders

I’m really new at Pod posting and Poding for that matter.

Our maiden adventure was my wife’s BD on 5/1/25

And it was the best ever.

My first, of many questions I’m, sure is how do adjust the brakes on our 2017 179? Every YouTube video I’ve seen shows the adjustment nut at the bottom of the rear of the hub behind (1) plug. I crawled under mine this am and there are (2) plugs. Neither of which I could see an adjustment nut.

Can you please help.

Thank you for all of your experience.

Pord-a

The brakes are self-adjusting. The only time you would need to mess with them is if you are removing the brake hubs for work. In that case, there is a lever that locks the star wheel. You would need to pry through one slot to lift that and then use a tool to rotate the wheel in there to loosen the brakes. This link should help.
