watch heel clearance
Your bike has pretty good chainstay length(17.5 inches), but you should still check heel clearance if you get really big panniers or baskets. Even more important if you have big feet.
If clearance is an issue look for panniers that are big vertically rather than horizontally. You can also add a rack trunk that fits on top of the rack. There are some pretty big ones that have a zip-open expansion.
