Friends,
When it comes to tubulars, 27=28=700. If you have access to
a Continental catalogue (and their Website) you'll see that
they list the same diameter tires all 3 ways, depending on the
model. Actually, I also know this from personal experience.
Why this situation exists is another story altogether, but
many discussions of the subject can be found in teh CR list
archives.
