no, I mean when you lean the front wheel turns into a turn of a constant radius, when the wheel falls or flops to one side it's an increasingly tighter turn that requires you to grab the bars to hold the turn constant. It's the kind of thing that makes riding hands off to do something possible using just your weight to hold the line. I figured the LHT "wheelflop" was intentional for riding with panniers. I'll report back to see how it is with a full load of groceries front and back and see if the difference really matters.
