Angus: Yours looks same as mine except mine has the braces at the top. I really can't see a Nitto flexing much in the plane the braces are bracing. Some of the racks on the Riv site have a more elegant curve at the bottom, where they fasten to the drop out. Much nicer than the squared off shape of mine, with the double bars at the bottom. It does provide a lot of places for bag attachment, with the loop and the pin, etc.
