Just a note on the self adjustment.  They do this adjusting when you are backing your pod, not while under tow.

As an example after repacking the wheel bearings one year I saw that mine were crap until I had backed in at a campground and then backed back into our driveway at home.  I later read that in backing is when the adjustments take place with them.

You may have to adjust them if you feel the pod pulling to one side or the other while braking.]]> Sun, 01 Dec 2013 16:56:26 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=4231&PID=41005#41005 Brake Adjustment : Thanks Goose http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=4231&PID=40989#40989 Author: Lefty

The brakes are self-adjusting. You really don't have to adjust them until you pull the hubs off to grease the bearings. It is wise to inspect the brakes every couple of years or 5,000 miles depending on how you drive and miles traveled.

I have 2014 178. Do the electric brakes need to be adjusted after a certain break in period? Or, are they self adjusting? Thanks]]> Fri, 29 Nov 2013 15:33:49 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=4231&PID=40965#40965
