How Reliable Are Enos Compared To Profiles?

[Jaffacakes]

My eno is amazing. It skipped a fair bit and didn't really click much at first so I thought it was crap, but then I found OBM's thread in the FAQ section and cleaned it out all the gack, and bent some of the springs back a little to strengthen them. Now it never skips and has a really nice feel to it.

I can't see my self going profile over a eno unless someone gave me one.

If your rich go for a profile. If your smart go for a eno .

I would have haribos over expensive marsbars anyday, Might be a stupid question but what exaclty is skipping (in freewheels) I'm not sure would someone give me a rough idea (lamens terms please )

It skips because...

1. Either doesn't fully lock into the engagement (to do dirt, too much grease and it slips)

2. Prawl is forced out the opposite way for whatever reason and misses the engagement.

3. Worn prawls or engagements

4. Warn springs

5. Or simply because you are using an ACS Claw

OK but what happens when it skips?

OK but what happens when it skips?

It skips and engagement and the prawl locks into the next one, or two or three or whatever depending on how bad the skip was. Basically, when you're riding, you come to kick it and it will make a horrible noise, the crank will jump forward, your backwheel won't move like you wanted it do...and if you're lined up for a gap, you'll probably smash your balls in.
