Bart, I have the same English wheel and found the frame flex a problem. Now that I have stiffened it, it shapes so much quicker and is responsive to pressure changes. It was too inconsistent before and work quality really suffered. Was causing waves every time you changed direction as the pressure actually altered!
I have a write up on what I did to it here.

Invention is a combination of brains and materials.
The more brains you use, the less materials you need.
