why are these shits called a rear wheel stand? is it just nomenclature? the front wheel flops around especially on a slippery floor. i custom built my bike so i could feel the difference in getting a buttery smooth headset preload but then with the low resistance and low weight the front wheel does not hold very steady even though it's a grippy gp 5000 tire. GC performance on youtube often has to catch the handlebar from swinging in his parking lot videos. is it not acceptable to put the front wheel in? in normal use (not displaying the bike in a store) it feels more natural to put the front wheel in and holding the handlebars to line up the front wheel with the stand and it feels more natural to have the front wheel "hooked" onto the stand so that the bike is leaning up instead of leaning down toward the ground.
