I agree that the diving board is the weak point of the M18. I used my M18 for a while on the rear of a bike as a support for a Carradice Camper. It was actually a great fit, but the diving board eventually bent under a load of groceries and allowed the rack to start rubbing the tire. A little force bent it back enough to get me home. I now use panniers on a Tubus Ergo low-rider to carry heavier loads on that bike. My Camper is sitting idle for lack of a better support solution.
I'm not sure that I would trust the Mark's rack to work better for that application, but in that case I might expect the mounting bolts to rotate under load rather than the struts bending.
