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.
Uhh... ok.
As it seems all you want is confirmation I was writing more for anyone else that might be reading along and wondering about some points to consider in wheel choices for touring. You carry on wondering how spokes on low count rims "break".
