Comment on Trying to buy right size bicycle wheel online

Competing wheel standards are bad, but the tire marketing makes things even worse.
Marketed for road? That’s 700c.
Marketed for mountain? That’s 29".
Marketed for ebikes? That’s 28".
But all three tires fit on the same 622mm diameter rim.

This is a great gotcha! I just recently learned that 700C, the “29er”, and (some) “28 inch” are all the same wheel.
