2 spd Komet Super

Komet Hub

Appears to be a 2 speed kickback. Don't own it but, am considering buying it.
The scripting on the Brake Arm "Super", and on the Hub "F&S. C"

Anyone know anything about or have a breakdown of this Komet "Super" hub? I did find the parts breakdown for the Komet 161 (Sachs)....not sure why there is no breakdown on the "Super" though. I have researched and see that the suffix "C" could be a number of different suffixes...like "D".

Anyone ever owned one and if so how well do they perform? Like the other 2 speed kickbacks?

I wasn't aware there was a 2 speed Komet hub? Or is it a typical single speed coaster brake?

F&S made 2 speed hubs... but they were not called "Komet". The diagram, pic, and link you posted are that of a single speed coaster hub. The F&S built 2 speed hubs were called "Torpedo Duomatic" and "Torpedo Automatic". The diameter of the hub is noticeably larger.

Pics plz, the model H I've seen were for the crank hangar in (I'm guessing) a sidewalk bike or tricycle.
