Anyone know what brand I should be looking at.
The bike shop I bought the bike from has had no luck with his supplier.
specifically it is a GT Avalanche 2.0 Large frame

Axiom makes OK racks for disk braked bikes. By OK, I mean just that.
Not even good or nice or really satisfying. About $30 from Amazon:

The extra couple bits on it needed to make it a disk rack make it quite
wobbly with anything short of a few pounds. Want to just have one
pannier with fifteen pounds? Forget it, such a load will likely bend
the rack so that it interferes with your brakes.

Want to carry real loads on a disk brake bike? Sell it and buy a bike
with rim brakes and mount a normal rack. That's sort of my conclusion
after owning a fendered 700c hybrid with disks. The brakes made me rue
time spent on it. Rotors warping, going out of alignment, rubbing,
making wierd sounds, making doing normal stuff like mounting fenders
and racks impossible, all while stopping no better than well adjusted
dual pivot brakes.
