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.
gbj_tester-
Excellent, thanks. Appropriate hubs- who knows. Novatech make their hubs with lots of different drillings. Also found these dirt cheap cup & cone hubs which are of course a gamble but thinking of ordering a pair anyway to check out.

Edit: they don't look like cup & cone in the pics and the description says both "cup & cone" and "sealed bearing".

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?
