Chain slipping while pedaling hard
brandt:
Hello all,
I received my rad runner about a week ago. One issue I'm trying to resolve is to figure out how to get the chain to stop slipping when I pedal hard.
Thanks!

My 'Runner 1 has a random "jump" when I get on the pedals. I think its the chain tensioner bouncing around and not responding quick enough. Its a Sturmey-Archer if I recall, and I would love to find a better quality one. But the "jump" decreased as I got some miles on it so I'm not really worried about to now. But if anyone finds a better tensioner that works on a "Runner 1 please share!
Wojciech:
@scooter - did you manage to resolve the issue? I’ve opened a ticket with Rad support regarding the same and wondered how it ended for you. I’ll post an update when hear back from Rad, so far they’ve asked me for a video of the chain in motion.
sc00ter:
Nope. I just put it down to the chain bouncing and the tension arm not reacting fast enough. So far my chain hasn't jumped off so its not a big concern, safety or reliability.
Wojciech:
Thanks! And has the OP? @brandt?
