Yay or nay?
Little wheels should be fine with fewer spokes, 28H on 559s is basically like 32H on 622s. My 24H Mavic Crossrocs were fine with well over 80kg riding on them. If you can find some appropriate hubs, go for it.

Found these 26" ryde css rims (like mavic ceramic, sort of) but only in 28h drilling. ebay.co.uk/itm/391563713732
Will be used on an old rim brake mtb that probably won't see much action -
You sure you want ceramic rims if you're not going to use the bike much?
Likely to have poor braking until they're worn in - consensus in other places is that can be 1000km (ish, and with road use, so no doubt less off road). Special brake pads too ...

I seem to have come here at the rightish time to ask about 28h builds. Found these 26" ryde css rims (like mavic ceramic, sort of) but only in 28h drilling. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/391563713732
Will be used on an old rim brake mtb that probably won't see much action - more paved roads leading to pubs than forest trails. But who knows, would be nice to know they'd stand up to abuse as well. I'm ~80 kg. Yay or nay?
