I look at the weight and can see how it would be flexy; it weight a mere 850g which is very light for the particular kind of rack.
Surly Nice rack is the stiffness rack I've ever used and it's over 1.3kg.
The best compromise I've found so far is a Tubus lowrider and nitto adjustable rando rack whose weight similar to the Blackburn but made of steel and stiff enough for carrying but not enough to cause discomfort by making the fork too stiff like the Surly Nice rack.
