The Brompton rear rack is a design flaw. It's made that way to keep the folding size small but as you can imagine, most people do not use it to carry anything. In fact, 95% of people use the front bag and attachment when carrying products. The reason people buy the rear rack on the Brompton is to attach larger wheels onto the rack so they can roll the bike like shopping cart. Very useful.
