I have this rear wheel on my fiances bike that slips when under power. it doesn't do it all the time but does slip for some reason even when just cruising and not from a stop to start. the wheel is a schwinn S2 i believe and the hub only says germany on it. The brake arm says Schwinn Approved. I took apart the hub and this is what I have...

i have never messed with the internals so any direction will help in fixing this slippage.
 
You have a Komet Super hub. Over all it is a nice riding hub. Since you have it apart clean it up, regrease, and re assemble. I did a rebuild thread here. Another thing you may look at is the nub on the crank that keeps the sprocket from spinning on the crank, I have had some break off.
 
I will do that and see how it goes from there. If need be can I get these internal parts easily or will I have to find another hub? Thanks guys
