it should be ok, as a reference Mavic expensive mtb wheels also come with 24 spokes. However i use a more standard setup with 32 spokes mainly because those spokes are easier to find and cheaper, so you can service the wheel yourself. Ask the seller about replacement spokes, where to find them and their cost.

Sounds like a good wheel for you. However it may be worth considering Tyres - MTB : Slane Cycles, The World's Friendliest Bike Shop if you need an alternative 🙂

Just built up a single speed offroad disc bike out of spare parts and a few new goodies. I actually am running the zerolite disc wheelset on it. Have only been on 2 rides so far but they seem just fine. I'm 210 and am not shy to let them fly and they seem to be just fine, excellent for a 69.00 wheelset IMO. It is bike #13 so they won't be used every time I ride but feel they will be fine for their intended use on this bike. Really like the coasting clicking sound, sounds like a much more expensive hub set does.
