I get that on my MTB as well. I think the only solution, assuming you
can't move the panniers further back alongthe rack, is to put extended
braces on the front of the rack so it sits further back on the bike.

I'll try moving the rack onto the lower eyelet on the drouput (the one
meant for mudguards? about an inch further back than the eyelet the rack is
on at the moment). I can also extend the brace on the front of the rack by
about an inch.

Hopefully this will let me get heel clearance, otherwise I'll be looking
for a new rack.

One thing I've found with the Bor Yeuh rack is that the middle support goes
in a U shape along the top of the rack - if it was straight up and down
then I'd be able to clip one of the Ortlieb mounts there, but the double
thickness of tubing at the middle means I can't...

Might even try swapping over with the old blackburn rack off my old bike...
