Topic: new bearings w old races?

will this work and if not why?

Yea it'll work if the race's and bearings are the same brand but if you want your bearing to live a long and happy life you'll replace the races at the same time.  They do wear over time and if they show the slightest sign of brinneling your new bearing is toast.

use your old races to knock in your new races,,just grind down the outer  edge a little and its a perfect punch to get the new race in..

I wouldn't go cheap; spend the $$$ and go new all the way...it will pay-off over the long-haul...
