I disagree and I do like that the rack outer rod drops straight down rather than bend/slant toward the axle. Too many of my racks, both front and rear racks, slant toward the axle and the result of this is panniers that flex in toward spokes on rough roads or trails. A rack with this design could prevent panniers from bending in toward spokes.
