iv been looking at reedvalving my malossi 210 and going to longstroke it but don't want to trash the sealing pad with a reedvalve,

so i was told on here to try and find an old malossi reedvalve or one that matches the normal inlet, then put a long stroke flowed crank in,

so iv found two possibilities -

an MB one from scooter centre - http://www.scooter-center.com/en/produc ... 14*14*1*16

or

an atomic one from tass - http://www.t-a-s-s.co.uk/product_info.p ... ts_id=2453

just wondering which one would be better, also what reeds are best for them and do reeds come in different sizes for them??? i know they come in different thicknesses, just wondering what thickness is best, what reeds are good and which ones fit either of the above,

the crank -

what is more cost effective?

purchasing a flowed mec/tameni 60mm longstroke crank from worb 5 (approx £160ish)

having my pinasco crank fettled with and flowed and having a longer rod fitted to it or an eccentric pin?

Fitting a longer rod doesn't increase the stroke. :|

There's also this one which is a little cheaper - http://www.sip-scootershop.com/en/produ ... +_20149130

The Atomic one uses a Minarelli 50cc type reed which I think is a little smaller than the MRB or Malossi.

I don't know how much you have to spend but this sounds like the duck's guts for your crank - http://scooterotica.org/forum/viewtopic ... 53&t=33118

the big reed valves and blocks available now are fab and allow greater flow over existing cranks whether full circle or bell shaped ,but if you would like to retain the sealing pad but still go for reed intake ,then one of my modified cranks will do the trick :)
