January 19, 20224 yr Author ??? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/165087863661?hash=i None of these bodge tensioners/retainers will fit a proper mid-drive ebike... The motor case rises much higher than the front sprocket. They also don't address the root cause. My Sduro 3.0, bought at the same time, with 10speed Deore groupset has so much more tension and nowhere the amount of chain bounce (even with the clutch off). Hence my feeling all these problems are related to the crappy rear clutchless Acera derailleur they fit on the 1.0 spec bike. Edited January 19, 20224 yr by Vim Fuego

My bike's design includes this part: https://foldingbike.biz/epages/7665e38c-067c-4fa0-9037-afac2266f927.sf/en_GB/?ObjectPath=/Shops/7665e38c-067c-4fa0-9037-afac2266f927/Products/TERNDAHCHAINGU2 It keeps the chain from jumping off, with or without a Bafang BBS101b mid drive kit installed.

January 20, 20224 yr Author Interesting, exact mirror of the problems I am facing.... Too long chain originally fitted, jamming, roadside recovery... https://www.ukclimbing.com/forums/biking/e-bike_woe-707398
April 2, 20242 yr Author Much, much later followup. Nothing I ever tried fixed this fully, the only solution was to throw the 8-speed entry level groupset in the bin, and buy a decent, mod-ranger 10 speed groupset (the same as what's on my bike). The bike has done 4000 miles without a single issue. Clearly Haibike cut a few corners too many to make the SDuro 1.0 pricepoint. They also washed their hands of the problem, and didn't want to know, so Haibike, and their parent can go fsck themselves when it comes to future replacement. Happy we got it fixed, unhappy it cost £200 in parts, and being abandoned by the manufacturer.
