Nice light-ish rack with a low ‘height’

I’m not sure what the dimension I mean is called - but the vertical strut length on my rack is too long - it looks ungainly to me. And more importantly it means I can’t fit anything on the SQR block on those “don’t need a pannier” days because the tack is too close.

Can anyone recommend a rack that will mean the distance marked in green is shorter? I’m having some difficulty finding the measurements so I thought it’d be easier to ask the hive mind. I’d like a bit of a platform for strapping stuff to. The bike doesn’t have discs or mounts for them.

The fitted rack is a Sonder Mool which I think is designed to give clearance for 29er style tyres more than my 700x28c. (I know I should cut down the struts but I don’t like it on this frame so I’ve left them long so I have choices later. Also I couldn’t be bothered.)

Thanks.

Tubus racks are probably the best. They show dimensions in drawings.
 

I like Skol

Also fitted this to my other bike just last night ready for a short weekend trip coming up soon.

Might be more your style as has a wide flat top but sits nice and low.

Will dig out rack details and take better pictures if required. Think it was a trek item, ordered it last year but it was delayed so never got fitted for the trip it was originally intended for.
