Reed Valve questions

[thatmint240]

Are all reed valves the same? i have a roughhouse 50 which is a zuma clone, and am wondering if i can use these: www.amazon.com/dp/B000GTXQE2?linkCode=ogi&th=1&psc=1&tag=sofferscom1-20

Or if you have a better suggestions

I have used their reeds before, but not on a scooter. We're good quality.
There is so much knock off stuff on Amazon now I don't really use it.
I have used quite a few different brand of reeds on scooters. Stuff like stage six, Polini. The advantage of using those reeds is you buy a pack of different thickness reeds. You can then fine tune the response you want.

will the shape of these reeds be the same as mine?

I couldn't say, as we don't get the rough house here.
It does give you the dimensions. So you could always compare the size with yours.

I saw that but i think those are the dimensions of the packaging

With Amazon's returns policy. You could order them, and compare them to your original ones. If they are different, just return them.
It should be easy to compare them without removing the new ones from the package.
You can also cut reeds down to size if they are too large.
The thing that makes me think they won't fit though, is they are double layer reeds. Look at most scooters, and the reeds are just a single reed petal design.

gotcha! Thank you for the input, i think ill order a set of carbon reeds i know will fit as well as these, if these dont fit ill keep em on the shelf for a future project.
