Since they are generally a couple of mms wider as well, they are perfect for slightly plumper road rubber.

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. 700C (ISO size 622) is the most commonly used size for modern road bikes.

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. This is the most common wheel size, so look out for familiar markings (such as 28×1.
