If they break because there was only 28 of them, then why do spokes break on 32 or 36 wheels?
I totally understand that you can limp a 36h wheel along that is missing a spoke and you can't limp a 28h wheel along with 27 spokes.
However you have lost 100% validation with me, when the argument turns into you'll break spokes because it is 28h.
