Danny Kearns Posted February 17, 2006 Report Share Posted February 17, 2006 People are saying in this topic things like:if you have the money = kingIf you dont = profileWhat my point is people are making the profile sound like a cheap hub when it is not is it really, well it is not a cheap hub to me.Whats your view on that or do you people not mind paying that amount and it seeming like nothing at all.Dan !

Swize Posted February 22, 2006 Report Share Posted February 22, 2006 EnoPull of the crank arm, unscrew off the old freewheel, screw on the new freewheel, put the crankarm back on, ride.ProfileRemove the back wheel, take the tyre, tube and tape off. Unlace the wheel, re-lace the whole wheel with the new hub on, put all the tyre and shit back on, but the back wheel on, ride.Which seems easier?Well considering freewheels are a bitch to get off.. + people normaly buy profiles as a full wheel as there old rims are normaly 32h.And its not really "harder" to fit just takes longer.And finialy if you buy an freewheel over a proflie becuase its "easyer" to fit your a bit of a fag .

louth trials 2006 Posted February 22, 2006 Report Share Posted February 22, 2006 hi matei would use a white industries eno freewheel just simply because i feel a front freewheel looks better and rides better i havent ever used a profile on a 20" but a front freewheel is just as good especially as the eno is built for trials and is ALOT cheaper.thanks tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have ordered did you get any tax's added?cheersyes i've ordered form them a few times...to give you a example of how they get around the taxes i'll use the headset i purchasedeg/ headset cost $110 which was about £75 at the time. To get around the import tax they only mark it up as bearings (which was declaired as $14 which was about £8...... if you do get hit with import taxes it will be barely anything Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poopipe Posted February 22, 2006 Report Share Posted February 22, 2006 (edited) an eno would be sweet on the back 108 engagementsto work it out just do 1.5xE =E= engagementsi'd go for a profile much less jean chewing and much more power er - that would only work if you had a 24 tooth cog on the frontits this sum( teeth on front / teeth on back ) X engagementsto reiterate... get an eno if you have less than 200quid to spend - otherwise get a profile (if you must) The EPs are the same at the pedals unless you run a stupid gearing. I couldn't justify spending 400quid on a rear hub and I'm bloody rich so unless daddy's paying or you can find an excellent deal forget the king Edited February 22, 2006 by poopipe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will Arnold Posted March 4, 2006 Report Share Posted March 4, 2006 overall, i prefer my eno front freewheel over my old profile rear hub setup.its lighter, and as strong. yet it isn't as expensive i dont know where people are coming from with the 'it doesn't feel as solid' statements. could somebody explain please?!?

Mark W Posted March 4, 2006 Report Share Posted March 4, 2006 It's obvious Will, I mena, Profiles have 4 pawls and Enos have 6, so Profiles are obviously going to feel stronger.Oh...No...Wait, that doesn't add up If only more people based FFW "goodness" on Enos instead of ACS's. Maybe the world would be a better place.On the plus side, if you get a Profile, people will have hopefully found a place to get decent replacement bearings for the ones that shit the bed in seemingly most peple's hubs? Joy. Don't forget to allow a bit of money for that on top of the £160 for the hub, £10 for spokes, £10 for a build, then £20 for a fixed sprocket... Well considering freewheels are a bitch to get off.. I'd say that bolting a tool to a freewheel, clamping the crank in a vice then using an extended spanner to tkae it off was a little easier than having to de-lace then re-lace a wheel? You know, just maybe? people normaly buy profiles as a full wheel as there old rims are normaly 32h. What? What kind of random assumption is that?

mini Posted March 4, 2006 Report Share Posted March 4, 2006 I have got a profile and it never lets me down i know i can trust it! It is so powerful and reliable!cheersstuart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rupertsub2003 Posted March 5, 2006 Report Share Posted March 5, 2006 just my opinion but would a front freewheel be wearing the chain constantly as its allways turning rather than a freewheel on the back ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr_chisholm Posted March 5, 2006 Report Share Posted March 5, 2006 Hey, I run a profile and its great so much power every time. Love it!!Hope that was at least a bit of use to you Cheersjaf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
