Hey all - did anyone figure this out?  I just got 2 rad runners (single speed) and am trying to fix this too - they BOTH have the exact issue described here.

I'm experiencing this exact same thing with a new Rad Runner.  It doesn't even take that much pedal pressure to get it to skip and it happens with or without PAS when pedaling up a modest incline.  It's definitely disconcerting and is a possible safety issue as it could cause your foot to slip off of a pedal!  There's really very little in the way of adjustments you can make as it's just a chain tensioner and not a derailleur on the Rad Runner.  The chainring, tensioner pulleys, and rear single-speed cassette are all in perfect alignment - so, it's not likely to be an alignment issue.  I'm wondering if there's a possibility it might be the freehub ratchet that's getting overpowered?

Any additional thoughts on this?
