Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Oh, come on now. 700 C rim size is 622 mm and 27" is 630 mm. I run 700 C TUBES on both sizes with no problems.

Now the tires are not interchangable.

And some 700c tubes say 28" on them. I bought a 700c Salsa tube that was simply too big and had a fold in it when inserted into the tire. Not good. If they fit in the tire smoothly with one bead in the rim, they're the right size.
