Profiles are awesome. Eno's are awesome. If you have money to burn, buy a profile. They have good solid loud engagements but only 48 (I think) and are easy to service. A Eno on the other hand is a good piece of kit. Like the proflie it is easy to service/clean out, it has good solid engagement (72) that barely ever skip (unlike most profiles if not bedded in properly). The Eno is 85 quid end of. The profile is 160 quid. plus a rim/spokes/build. So as has been said a couple of posts up profiles are double the price and you are bound to have more problems with it. If you can't build a wheel and have killed your rim, that's another £50 if not more. My Eno is spot on, it's the same with all the bikes with Eno's i've been on. Profiles are probably better, but cost a lot more. If you have a couple of hundred quid to spend get a profile. I probably would .
