I bought a pair of 28 hole DT Hugi/Swiss hubs for my wife. Sweet hubs, but I sold them. I'm sure any LBS can get you some, but I don't think Shimano makes them.(Could be wrong). At least, I've never seen any 28 from them.

I think that 28 hole mountain hubs are likely to be rare. My QBP catalogue lists XTR and Hugi 240, but they're both priced to filter out the insincere.
28 hole road hubs can be easily had in virtually all of the decent component groups.

Hope (UK maker), Phill Woods, or more sensibly, Shimano Ultegra ($50) from

28 spokes are for light road duty, not off roading.
