Tatfiend: I am seriously considering buying a Topeak Super Tourist DX for my Trek commuter bike.
But I'm worried that the non-horizontal "doglegs" might cause my grocery panniers to slide around along the bottom. Do you have any problems due to the doglegs not being horizontal?

Here's a pic of what I mean:



See how the dogleg is angled upwards instead of being flat?

Thanks for any input/feedback!!

I really want to have the Topeak work for me since it's so much cheaper than the Tubu$
The only other inexpensive dual-rail rack that is long like the Topeak/Tubus is the MassLoad CL-476

But I want a black rack and prefer Topeak, since my LBS carries all their trunk bags.
