I also read somewhere that there are different sizes of 700c - is that correct?
I'm not sure where you got 675 from, and obviously subtracting 8 can't yield 595. Not sure why you have that number either.
700C is 622mm while British 27" is 630mm.
There are no other 700C diameters, you're probably thinking of tire widths.
I recommend a read of sheldonbrown.com on this subject. It'll link to all relevant topics of converting from 27 to 700C. You're filling in some unknowns with assumptions in your quest for Univegan (is that a word? LOL) makeover.


And yes, like I stated they will fit.
