I've been using a Rapidwinder without a 'wheel' for a couple of years
without a problem. Perhaps it's because I always make sure that the sprocket
holes in the film are held correctly by the teeth on the film advance
roller, but I used to do that with the standard base plate too.

Only a M4 baseplate and later, will properly permit the quick loading
features to be used on M4,6,7 and 8 cameras. It's risky otherwise.  (You
need the "wheel" to push the leader into the "tulip"
