Wheel keeper - flopper stopper

[Tortue]

Got annoyed with my T50 front wheel flopping over and occasionally causing the bike to fall over.
Designed a 3d printed part to keep the front wheel in position while parked.
It's tension is adjusted tight enough to hole the wheel, but loose enough to rotate out of the way if/when I forget to disengage it, which I have, several times.
If anyone wants the gcode file FOC, shoot me a DM.
It was printed on a Prusa Mk3 with PETG. The PETG seems soft enough to keep from scratching the paint. Uses a 6mmX30mm hex head bolt and a nyloc nut.

I just noticed there is a threaded hole in the front of the main frame tube. Looks like it is intended for a front wheel flopper stopper of some kind, maybe something like a Flickstand?

This is what I did. It works ok. It would have been better if the hole is further back to get more leverage.

You might try steerstopper.com for what I think is the best solution.

I don’t want to drill a hole in my beautiful and expensive Cruzbike. So no steerstopper for me.
You need to think out of te box for this problem.
