Kelly, I could see from Andy's picture what his problem was. It is not too clear to me from your pic how you solved it. Did you just reposition the pannier a little forward on the rack. Bottom line, and this is important to me, do the Arkel panniers (especially the largest one) fit on a large rear Nitto rack? After all of the discussion I am leaning toward the Arkel but I want to make sure that they will fit before I go through the hassle of ording them only to find out they don't fit. Thanks
