I'm having trouble visualizing how this would help, since the rack still attaches to the frame at the same place? (I ask, because I have the same problem as the OP with heel strike on occasion, and since my rear rack doubles as a trailer attachment for my daughter's trail-a-bike (Burley), I'm looking for other options). Thanks!
