Hi Michael, I'm pretty sure that the hoop will not interfere with the Nitto Mini or Mark's rack. Here's a look at the HAR v1 and Nitto Mini. I'm guessing that the only difference with HAR v2 is the hoop tab-- if that's the case, this pic shows that HAR won't interfere with the front rack. https://www.flickr.com/photos/stakx/14635282251/
I'm not familiar with the Arkel front panniers. If you'd like certain measurements of the HAR v1, I'd be happy to help.
