    I'm needing to replace my disintegrated shimano hub gear and there seems to be some availability of ready made wheel/hub assemblies on line that are quite reasonably priced. But the wheel sizes for sale online are expressed as "28 inch" rather than "700c" (which is the size of the original wheel). Are these wheels the same size? ie. Will a 28" wheel fit the frame and rim brakes previously working with a 700c wheel? Apologies if this has been asked before, I did a search on CCE but turned nothing up...

    Well that was easy! Also makes me look at tad bone idle but we'll gloss over that. Thank you Mr. Kaputnik...much appreciated.
