Is a 28 inch bike tire the same as 700c?
The tyres can differ, but the 28”, 700C and 29er are all the exact same rim diameter. The 700 markings will be followed by the width in mm, and the 28 or 29 markings will be followed by the width in inches.
What does 700c 28 mean?
700x28c simply means the size of your bicycle tire, according to what’s known as the ‘French system’. “28” is the width of the tire, again in millimeters and “c” refers to the width code of the tire (like you’d see when you look at your bike either from behind or in front).

4. 5. The marking on the tire ‘700 x 25c’ means a 622mm diameter rim, with a nominally 25mm wide tire.

Inner tubes fit a range of tire sizes as they are quite flexible.
Is 26 inch the same as 700C?
A 26 inch, or a 650c wheel is about 1 inch smaller (about 2 inches smaller with road slicks) in diameter than a 700c. Some people think that because 700c wheels are the ‘standard’ for road bikes, they must be better.
What size is a 27 inch tire?
27-inch tires come in common widths of 1-1/8 inch, 1-1/4 inch, and 1-3/8 inch for some older hybrid and cycloross bikes. The BSD of 27-inch tires is 630mm. 27-inch and 700C tires are close enough in size that the inner tubes are compatible; i.e. you can use a 27-inch inner tube in a 700C tire, and vice-versa.
What size is a 700C wheel in inches?
All road and cyclocross bikes are built with 700c wheels, which are 29 inches. However, 700c wheels are designed to accommodate a thinner tire. Many come in widths ranging from 18 to 23 millimeters, with touring tires ranging from 25 to 28 millimeters.
Is 29 inch the same as 700c?
29″ (ISO size 622) is actually the same rim diameter as 700C, although most 29″ tires will not fit 700C road rims because they’re too wide. 29″ tires are popular with mountain bikers; search for 29″ MTB. 700C (ISO size 622) is the most commonly used size for modern road bikes.
Will a 28 Tire fit a 700c rim?
As I understand it, a 28″ tyre fits 700c wheels and vice versa, a 27″ tyre wo’nt fit a 700c rim. A 700c inner tube will fit a 27″ wheel (i’m guessng probably a 28″ wheel too).

What is the difference between 700 and 700C tires?
Yes they are the same. 700 is the nominal diameter of the rim. 700C is the usual standard for road bikes, but small frames or some custom builds may use a 650B. 38 is the width of the tyre, in mm, at the widest point.
What does 700C 30c mean?
Senior Member. 700C indicates the nominal tire size (outer diameter). Otherwise known as 622mm (which is the tire bead diameter and a more meaningful number). 29″ mtn tires are the same 622mm, just fatter/taller outer diameter. 30,28, 32 are widths in mm.
