It's all in the block. If you tighten a jubilee clip around the diameter of the block it will harden and therefore be less 'bouncy'.
I've got a rear luggage rack on mine and wrap the bungee cords around the seatpost. This makes it easier to pick up (as the rear wheel won't drop) and also tightens up the suspension.
I think the front wheel will be fine, there's an awful lot of spokes in there considering the rim size!
