what is the typical spoke length on a 24" mtb wheel ? do i need to be concerned about certain hubs having flange heights that make it impossible to find the right spoke length ?

Kinda. You might have to go 1 mm up or down or choose a different spoke or color. I think 238s are what Ive used in the past... but dont hold me to that, just a number that comes up. Youll want to use a spoke length calculator of course.

There is NO standard spoke leangh , 24" can vary from as low as 230mm-'s up to the low 250mm , I think the last set I hand built were 246mm on high flage hubs with ryno lights .
I ran one last season. Solid hub, no worries. But seriously, a front hub isn't much but just a shell with flanges that holds some bearings. Not much too it, not much that can go wrong typically. Basically just the more you pay, the more weight you shave off (or the more brand name you go with...). I'm currently running a super cheap Dimension with the disc bolt tabs ground off and it's solid too, but I will be swapping out to a custom Marmoset soon.
Also, if you can source one, check out the Leaf Cycles front 20mm front hub, with no disc mounts. Looks very clean and solid, and should build a dishless stronger wheel with better triangulation and same length spokes/no offset. (or look for an old Ringle Boxxer hub, or Profile Non-disc 20 if you can afford it, or Last non-disc if you can find one...).
