Actually the disc brake models take mountain bike hubs while the one with rim brakes takes road hubs.

I will second the comment about the bike will probably be just fine but you might want to look into a wheel upgrade. I am pretty biased but good wheels are one of the most important things to a bike, just behind proper fit IMHO.

If you decide to just ride the wheels it comes with until they start to give you issues you should at the very least find out if the shop has a good wheel builder and ask him to stress relieve and double check the spokes are at proper and even tensions. That will go a long way in keeping your wheels happy and is something production wheels are usually lacking.
