What size bike? Cross Check should have decent chainstay length.

I like the Bontrager Back-rack deluxe, they have two sizes, one for a smaller frame that puts the rack further back. It's a bit of a Tubus rip-off design with a lower bar for mounting panniers and retails for about $50 USD.

Most racks can be made to work if angled properly. I wear a size 12 US, ride a 53cm Trek 520 w/ 450mm chainstays. I went with the standard "L" sized rack mentioned above and it works fine although I did end up putting my panniers most of the way back after a few heel strikes but I didn't have to angle it at all (but I probably should have bought the "S" due to my large feet).
