CalopS Posted August 24, 2005 Report Share Posted August 24, 2005 profiles just more stiff i think ive had both but i just trust my profile more and im glad i got it mine was second hand from bongo and i dont know how long he had it for but it hasnt skiped once where my eno did sometimes profile (Y) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackghostknife Posted August 24, 2005 Report Share Posted August 24, 2005 My friend has got a profile and loves it and i have heard that you cant really go wrong with them (Y) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CurtisRider Posted August 24, 2005 Report Share Posted August 24, 2005 i was going to post the exact same question! the difference is i will own both soon....i currently have an eno but am buying a profile hub, either to go on my mod or on another project i dont mind which goes on the project though, i just want the best for the mod....the eno has skipped a bit, but overall its alright-hasnt the profile got less engagements?

Luke Drewery Posted August 24, 2005 Report Share Posted August 24, 2005 I have ridden on a bike with a profile (zoo python) and a bike with an eno on it (monty 221ti) and i much prefer the profile hub over the front freewheel setup. I can trust it more and i arent conststantly worried whether its going to skip or not, get a profile, the limited edition colours are mint too, look on Tartybikes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RicH_87 Posted August 24, 2005 Report Share Posted August 24, 2005 Gonna have to go against these other peeps. I've had an eno for yonks, and it's been fine, haven't had a skip for well over 6 months, and never had to service it once. My mate however (calops up there) had an eno too and his was skip city, and i gotta admit his python rides loads better with a profile. However, if i was you, and had a new monty, i'd deffo wack my eno on there and forget about it. (Y) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JT! Posted August 24, 2005 Report Share Posted August 24, 2005 Same engangement points (if you run the ENO on the front) The profile just feels better as it's on the back. I personaly love my ENO. And it's skipping less and less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CurtisRider Posted August 24, 2005 Report Share Posted August 24, 2005 without sounding poncy-what is the weight advantage of an eno and a fixed hub over a profile and a fixed cog? (well welded freehweel for me at first) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modrider666 Posted August 25, 2005 Report Share Posted August 25, 2005 (edited) Got an ENO at the mo!, But i have just ordered one of the tangerine profile hubs, besides my ENO skips rather bad and i have made continous services :P Also the profile hub has a very crisp sound to it :P Edited August 25, 2005 by modrider666 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CurtisRider Posted August 25, 2005 Report Share Posted August 25, 2005 so if i was to run an eno on the back of my stock id have 144 engagements? as it doubles on the rear? if so sod that thats far too many...... i think a profile is winning me over in terms of pimpness now :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CurtisRider Posted August 25, 2005 Report Share Posted August 25, 2005 so whats jt on about? cos an eno has 72ep and a profile has 48 or something close? so how is running a profile on the rear any different.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
koxx-boxx Posted August 25, 2005 Report Share Posted August 25, 2005 In the weight option, the profile is pretty heavey then the eno is oversiouly light because its smaller and desighned for trials where as the profile is desighned for bmx and everything desighned for bmx is strong and to be stronger its heaver or something like that.

tom s Posted August 25, 2005 Report Share Posted August 25, 2005 so whats jt on about? cos an eno has 72ep and a profile has 48 or something close? so how is running a profile on the rear any different.... ← It's all to do with gear ratios. As the eno is on the front, you get the 72 engagement points. Whereas if you run a profile on the rear with the standard 18:12 gear ratio, you will get 72 effective engagement points, as you multiply the engagement points by the ratio. 48*1.5 = 72 :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's all to do with gear ratios. As the eno is on the front, you get the 72 engagement points. Whereas if you run a profile on the rear with the standard 18:12 gear ratio, you will get 72 effective engagement points, as you multiply the engagement points by the ratio. 48*1.5 = 72 :P ← ah ok i geddit, so does that still mean id have more ep with the eno if i ran it on the rear?

As far as i know, you can't increase the amount of hooks on a ratchet by using a different gear ratio?! :P" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomm Posted August 25, 2005 Report Share Posted August 25, 2005 ah ok i geddit, so does that still mean id have more ep with the eno if i ran it on the rear? (on a stock) ← Yes so does that mean a king hub, which has got 72ep, when run with an 18:12 ratio would give you 108 engagements? and when run with a 22:18 ratio (most stock bikes?) it has 88 engagements? As far as i know, you can't increase the amount of hooks on a ratchet by using a different gear ratio?! :P" ← Yes, but you can increase the number of clicks per revolution of the cranks, which is actually what you're interested in. Think about it (Running 18:12 for simplicity's sake): When your cranks go round 12 times, the rear sprocket turns 18 times, agreed? I.e. for every revolution of the cranks, the freehub moves through 1.5 full revolutions (540 degrees). So it clicks 1.5 times as many times :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iwannaleeson! Posted August 25, 2005 Report Share Posted August 25, 2005 hey, i have ridden on a bike with a profile and i personally prefer my eno . . i mean yeah, it does skip now and again but because its goes straight to the next engagement, you dont even feel any movement . .you just hear it :P" so yeah, i reckon that you should just save the money (like 70 odd quid) and just get an eno :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Dale Posted August 25, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2005 It's not the money factor i ran a profile for a fair while and in that time i kept thinking about going over to a eno....im not a weight pussy so that matter is out of the way....problem being is this.... I have 2 ways to do this whole 'NEW' bike thing, 1. i know somebody selling a 4month old monty ti05, hub is a profile and is the same age as are the koxx rims and that is £750 2. buy a brand new 2004 monty ti and get a eno and keep it standered spec except from the eno.... Views VERY welcome :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
