Is the front wheel not held in a clamp on your ramp Ted? Having said which, I will put my hand up to performing something similar in my youth, bike on centre stand (on tarmac surface), mate leaning on rear carrier so I could remove front wheel, wheel out and let bike gently pivot forwards to rest on fork legs. NAH!!! Rolls off stand and hits the deck. Fortunately only cosmetic damage. Nowadays always keep a good stock of wooden blocks and ratchet straps. Stay safe.Mike.
I still haven't found a Torque Setting for the lock rings only for the axle nut.

Stay safe.Mike.Yes but clamp should have been tighter - me pulling on the wheel instead of the clamp unit was the primary cause. The straps I have used were starting to get out of position as I worked on the bike.

I attach a photo as it makes it clear where the play is coming from. Looks like wear on the washer and large circlip. Wondered if yours might be similar. Do people shim these washers?Put some washers behind the sprocket so it sits further out?

If you could find a washer that big Ted. Shouldn't affect the positioning or fitting or the lugs into the rubbers, fit the washers between the sprocket and the lug, that won't affect anything except to move the sprocket a little further out.
What's yours like Ted, if yours and others are the same then it's mist likely deliberate but to me it shouldn't be there. Any movement of the sprocket will eventually wear parts that aren't supposed to be worn IMO.
