No problems at all. The rack is a flimsy old thing I got from Argos several years ago and it's set at its maximum distance from the seat post. The Carradice (which I bought a few weeks ago) has a good angle on it and I have no problems with clearance. I have size 9 feet (UK size). The Carradice is good but the screws inside scratched my laptop so I've covered them up with sponge. Luckily it's only a work laptop.
