If you'll pardon the question, I'd like to know what the difference is
between a 700c wheel and a 26 inch wheel.
Does 700c mean 700 cm?


The "c" stands for "clincher", that is, not for tubular tyres. They're
bigger in diameter than a 26" but slightly smaller than 27" I don't know
what the 700 actually stands for - I initially thought it was the diameter
in millimeters, but that would make it bigger than 27" which they're not.
