A lot of prepubescent whisky would die in the various failed mounting and 
lid removal attempts. Still, that may be an idea whose time has come! Grin.

Finessed indeed. Next time see if you can do it with the cap off a bottle

I think you've got the truth of it, Benjamin. The dust cover is tight plus 
a snug, and the bearings spin freely. The only "adjustment" the dust cover 
seems to do is loosening the macro bearing mechanisms so the pedal is loose.

Aye, Ray, I was bemused that I managed to hit a rock to unscrew the dust 
cap without bending the grip plates. The aluminum outter threads of the cap 
have a few scratches is all. I had no idea I was so finessed a rider. 
Sardonic grin, as finesse is a highly relative term when applied to 
anything I do.

But these use sealed cartridge bearings right?  What is to adjust other
than holding them and the spindle in place?

That's really interesting. I don't think I've seen that before. If it were 
me, I think I would treat it just like setting the bearing load in a hub or 
bottom bracket and just tighten just to the sweet spot of no-play but spins 
freely.
