Soul-G, I just use Chrome browser on my phone and it works great. Direct uploads of photos, see all notifications, and when the time comes, I can even vote using the Chrome browser.

Anyway, good luck wrapping things up for the year, and looking forward to those 'artistic welds'!
 
Preliminary rim cleaning shows some promise.

Has anyone ever used one of these Komet Super hubs?

The Komet super is apparently a nice coaster brake, and if it has the drum type brake they are effective and release cleanly. When Sachs stopped making such things a Czech company called Velosteel continued them, and I have about a dozen of theirs on and off my bikes - and I love them. What I do recommend is that you strip it out, clean it up and regrease the bearings and other internal mechanisms - especially the sprocket carrier bearing, as when that goes it can take the rest of the hub with it. They are not complicated, but if left standing for years the grease in there can harden.
 
ALSO, I'm having issues with tapatalk on my phone. I can't post anything on my phone, which is the most convenient way to play here, I think. Thanks for checking on me, though.

Tapatalk has been disabled on the forum. I've never used it and have always been able to surf, post, and reply from my phones just using any mobile browser.

You can get more details on how to setup a shortcut link in this thread.
