What Bearings Should Be Used with a Dexter Hub

Question:

I bought a couple of Dexter 12inch drums they came with pre-installed races. I recall you were not supposed to split race and bearing sets, but that a while ago, before the uniformity that modern manufacturing provides. Is it OK to use the bearing cage from a different set along with the pre-installed races, or should I use only the components from the bearing set i.e. replace the races?

As long as you find the correct bearings for the hub you should be fine. If you wanted to email me back with what Dexter hub/drums you bought I could help you pick out the correct parts. Or if you search the part number and find the product page the bearing numbers will be listed in the description.
