SamHolmes Posted May 27, 2005 Report Share Posted May 27, 2005 I really dont know wether to order an Eno trials freewheel Whoevers made the change from an ACS to the Eno, what are your thoughts on it and was it worth what you payed I really dont want to regret buying it because £80 is alot to me :turned:" Thanks Sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeyseemonkeydo Posted May 27, 2005 Report Share Posted May 27, 2005 Definately worth it. My last ACS lasted less than two weeks and if you've ever opened one up and seen the design, you'll see it's absolute crap. The ENO is a very well machined piece of kit which will last you for years. I'm tempted to get rid of my King on my stock and go front freewheel with an ENO instead...they're that good! Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamHolmes Posted May 27, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2005 Just checked Tarty bike again and it says out of stock :turned: Anywhere else to get it from ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Cook Posted May 27, 2005 Report Share Posted May 27, 2005 Yep the eno freewheel is well worth it! My mate has already had his for 6 months and is still perfect condition !

JT! Posted May 27, 2005 Report Share Posted May 27, 2005 (edited) They are too much really, but i would never go back to an ACS now. I recently opend mine to clean it and non of the teeth were damaged in the slightest. :S" No one has broken one yet, feel much more solid, twice as many EP. Unless you have the cash for a profile, get one. :turned: Edited May 27, 2005 by JT! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SQuiT-man Posted May 27, 2005 Report Share Posted May 27, 2005 Im thinking of going for a profile, but im not totally decided yet.. Is the weight gain on the rear of having a profile hub noticable over an ENO? How much do they actually weigh (profile)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RicH_87 Posted May 27, 2005 Report Share Posted May 27, 2005 LOL! marks crazy diagram pretty much sums it up. ENO is ace and all you need really. :turned: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forteh Posted May 27, 2005 Report Share Posted May 27, 2005 I cant really comment because I have a king on 26", however I would imagine that it is the same as swapping from a hope rear hub to a king. Relatively the cost is alot more, but the riding experence is sooooo much better, if you can afford to get an ENO (20") or a king (26") then I would say by all means go for it. Once you have used a high engagement drive you wont want to go back :turned: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe b Posted May 28, 2005 Report Share Posted May 28, 2005 Sammmmmmmm, getta profile!!!! You know you'd rather pay the extra money for 1. more reliability 2. lifetime warranty 3. smoother ride 4. no way near as much skipping 5. no more trouser munching 6. no more titghtening up freewheels 5 times a day. Cheers, Joe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SQuiT-man Posted May 28, 2005 Report Share Posted May 28, 2005 Are profile's covered by warranty on trials then? Or can u just blag it and say u used it for bmx if anythign happens? Are they genuinely more reliable? Ive heard of them breaking before, but never heard of an ENO properly breaking! Also, whats the weight issue like with a profile? Im thinking of getting one, but need to be a bit more persuaded first Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted May 28, 2005 Report Share Posted May 28, 2005 Profile's aren't light. They're not uber heavy, but they aren't as light as a FFW set-up. I've only had to tighten my Eno properly once, so I don't get how it's "Tighteing freewheels loads" or whatever Joe said. If he's strugglnig to afford an Eno, how is he going to spend the £200 it costs to Profile up your bike? Alright, it's £155 for the hub (or so), but then there's £20 for the spokes & build, then another £20 for the fixed sprocket, etc. I wouldn't really say the Profile was 3x better than the Eno, which the price tag would suggest. Anyhoo, I'd just go for the Eno, really. Mine hasn't skipped in a good long while, and even when it did I only knew 'cos of the bang. It just engages again straight away because of the 3-pawl system, it's just pretty beefy really. As for the "Trouser munching", if you like use your shoelaces to keep your trou' under control (or just make sure they're not hanging down by the freewheel too much), it's usually OK. My BMX tore the shit out of my trousers too, and that's not got front freewheel either. In fact, almost every bike I've had has, at some stage, had a go... I don't know how it's a "Smoother ride" either Joe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaRtZ Posted May 29, 2005 Report Share Posted May 29, 2005 Ive had an ACS for about 3 months and has only skipped twice whilst pedalling from place to place. £80 or whatever it is, IS a lot of money, and I guess if you really want comfort with gaps its a good choice. I getting a profile soon though =8¬P. Cant be Ar-didily-ars*d with freewheels because i've had a lot of problems with them. Wasnt willing to pay money on an ENO either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
