They are really designed for a front rack, by the way!
What in God's name are you guys talking about? what is a bungie? The Trek Interchange system is certainly not bottom of the line. They don't come with any type of bungie cord to wrap around the rack, if that is what you mean. They are designed to easily and quickly clip on/off the rack in the back.
