An ideal build for a 28 hole rim would be a Kuwahara Clint Miller replica as he used a 28 hole on the front.

28  holes are normal on mini's, I have done a few races on 32 hole rims no problems, even survived my crash.

Came with GT sealed flip/flop hubs.
Think 32's are coming back for front wheels, Alienation do some, also aero shape for the brakeless riders are making an apperance
