I tried loading the photo again. No luck. Tried loading it to this web site, not another photo sharing site. The photo was my friends mountain bike with panniers. I have loaded photos to this site before, not sure why it is not working now.

Some racks allow for more heel clearance than others. If you have not bought a rack yet, look for one that claims to allow more heel clearance. For example, the Tubus Logo claims to have better heel clearance.
