I'd complement the Pelago front rack with a matching Pelago commuter rear rack. The finishes would match, and you could get them both level. The latter is the biggest thing letting down the existing rear rack when combined with the Pelago front. On its own, it's not as noticeable.

Yeah bottom brackets are generally pretty cheap so it'll be alright. I'll need to disassemble the chaincase to see how far we're off but I expect about 10-15mm.

The Pelago rear is pretty nice but it might be a bit overkill for my usage. I'll throw the RoadAce's rack on a scale some time and see how much it weighs, it feels pretty light.
Luckily I have a shop nearby that sells Pelago bikes so I can probably just drop by to see it in person.
