Something to hold the front brake?

[Shinleung]

When I use a rear stand, I tend to want to hold the front brake to feel more secure.
I think zip tie have been helpful but I have to cut it every time I finish using it and it can't be reused.
I was thinking if there is such a product that would hold the front brake and reusable.
I have seen a lock which can hold the front brake but that's not quite what I am looking for.
Thx.

Why does this bother you? Do you park your bike on a slope? I use a Sharp Racing rear racing stand when my bike sits in the shed. No problems.

Velcro - ONE-WRAP®, Straps and Organization Products

These would probably do it. Effectively re-usable cable ties. I use them to keep the garage tidy and free of heaps of knotted cables.

Knot a small bungie cord in a circle and pull it over the lever/bar..

It's an issue that someone without a center stand would feel more concern with, I guess.

Your race stand has a wider footprint both in length and width than the center stand..... it's more stable than the center stand. My center stand held my bike up with no problems in 60 and 70 MPH gusting winds..... I'd bet your race stand would do the same.

While I would not be concerned, one of the local shops keeps the front brake on all of the time on their showroom models. They simply use a cable tie cut to an approximate length so that the lever must be pulled past a certain point to slide it over the lever/grip, but when the lever is released the front brake is still applied. Works for them!

The plastic block on the R Jays stand was too slippery and the bike slide backwards 15-30min after I put it onto the stand.
