I have a question about these end stands...how much extra end support do they provide for the shafts? The flexure of the shaft is upward, away from the head, but it looks like they only use the standard bolt (or stud) to hold them down, with no bolt on the outer end of the stand or shaft to hold the outer end down. Do they rely on the strength of the extended base to prevent the shaft from flexing upward? They appear better than no end support, for sure. Are there end stands that bolt down to the head?
