Your reply may reveal that you have little experience with the clickstand system. It comes with three brake handle bungees that when applied activate both front and rear brakes. While applied with both brakes engaged for heavier loads there is no need for a front wheel bungee...just turn the wheel to it's stops, it isn't going anywhere.
