curious about 700cc, 28", 29" diff?

Hello, I just picked up a 700cc Alex wheel for a guy in my club. I'm
wondering about the 28 or 29 inch difference.

This is what I am thinking, please correct me if I'm wrong.

You take your 700cc rim.

You can put a tire like the 700cc Kenda Kwest on it, but you can also
put a 29" Nanoraptor on it? Or are there different sizes of rims?

Thanks

my understanding is that 700c tires are also designated as 28". Or at
least that is what it says on the side of my road "kenda Kwest" tire.


It says "700c X 35c - 28 X 1 5/8 X 1 3/8"

This lead me to believe that i could call my tire a 28", and equally a
700c.

Am i wrong assuming this?

Take a look at this link: 'Tires Sizes' (http://tinyurl.com/l83j)

It's a lot of information about tire sizes, including how to figure if a
tire will be compatible with a rim. ISO seems to be the best reference
for tire sizes, no differences depending on where you are or what
manufacturer.
I don't remember exactly where I got it from, possibly Sheldon Brown's
web site.

Ok, I am now officially in my normal state of -advanced- confusion.
Don't try to confuse me, it won't make any difference.
