Depends..... how long is your piece of string?

Loaded touring bikes would have 36-spoke wheels, but modern quality rims with 32 spokes will suffice for most.

28 spokes wouldn't be considered strong enough to carry loaded touring weights.

If you're carrying 20-25 pounds or so, and you're not density -challenged, probably ok.
