Is there anything "wrong" with building a set of wheels for rim brakes but using disk brake hubs?
I'm thinking of getting some BMX racing rims laced to a set of Deore level hubs so I can get a lightweight 9/10sp 24" wheel for my son. A quick initial glance seems to only disk brake hubs.

Nothing at all, crack on!
If you want Deore level hubs and non disc brake though, the [url= http://www.rosebikes.co.uk/article/shimano-deore-fh-t610-rear-wheel-hub/aid:670682 ]T610s [/url]will do it. I'd build the front one radially.

Not really, you might have a bit narrower flange spacing but I can't imagine that's a huge concern. Centrelock hubs come with a cover for exactly this reason.
