That photo shows a rim brake bike, thus the rack does not have disc mounts. I suspect that the OP would rather use the disc mount on the frame for hub torque limit instead of the long torque arm used on the bike in the photo.

That however raises the point, we have not seen a photo of the OP's hub, do not know if it is a disc hub or rim brake hub, what it uses for torque limiter, shifting cables, etc.

If the OP has a rim brake hub and a disc brake frame, he has an expensive modification to make.

Mine is rim brake, I built it up nine years ago when rim brake was still common on new builds.

That is a cute little U lock in the photo, not locked to anything, only used to lock the wheel to the hub. Side note: When touring I use bolt on skewers instead of quick release, they use a 5mm allen wrench. I am assuming most thieves are opportunists and do not carry around a multi-tool. I do not use one of the locking skewers like a Pitliock, I am sure I would lose the key. To make sure I do not strand myself, I keep a spare 5mm allen wrench pack with my spare tubes.
