I've been using a Lone Peak trunk bag for some years, and it's a wonderful
bag. In addition to expanding (so it has enough room for a change of clothes
and then some). Here's a link to the item:

As those of you with a Tikit know, heel clearance on the rear rack is an
issue. One of the things that attracted me to the Lone Peak bag is that it
has sides that don't bulge out, but unfortunately, as the bag has aged, this
is no longer the case. I can avoid heelstrike by placing the bag far back on
the rack and very, very carefuly centering it.
My wife needs a trunk bag, and it makes sense to give her the Lone Peak (her
bike doesn't fold) and get a narrower one for myself.
Tikit users, can anyone recommend a trink bak that will help me avoid
heelstrike? The newer touring rack is, unfortunately, not an option for me
right now.
Thanks!
