I know I want to make the nose separate and floating from the tail portion of the wheel pant fer ease of disassembly/access as well as impact mitigation.
When your backing up, if I remember correctly.

In realy bad crosswinds or tailwinds could cause sheding vortexes to amplify this to shakeing your tail fethers like the shoping cart crazy wheel. Even at unnoticable levles will accelerate tire ware and reduce FE on a pairabolic with wind speed. .
For test purposes attach a pole to the wheel pant with a tuft on the end. Then watch to see how twitchy it is.
