I have a Clem L 59 and have fitted some 29x2.5” tires. (700x63mm). Coming
from the stock 45mm slicks, these fat tires have been amazing and made the
bike super fun. Even on pavement.

Beware, not all 28" tires and wheels are the same. My Guv'nor has 28x1.5
tires that are for 635 rims, not 622 rims. The only way to tell what the
rim diameter is for sure is the ISO BSD - Bead Seat Diameter.
The below is just scratching the surface. See Sheldon Brown if you really
want to dig
Thanks for the clarification, everyone! I think it makes sense now - it's
all about the outer diameter and how much extra rubber the frame can take.
Got it. The rim is 700c.

Oh you'd probably have to dig a while to come upon this information, most
of us only know it cuz we were around when the "700c mountain bike" was a
huge flop, then someone had the bright idea to rename the wheel and the
29er was born.
See, also: 650B - an old French size Riv and a couple
Thanks everyone! I think I understand now: 59+cm Clem's have a 700c rim
and a frame that can accommodate 29er tires for the extra rubber in the way
that the 650b can offer more rubber to frames originally intended for 700c,
i.e. to meet outer diameter limitations.

My understanding is it's a colloquially 29er was referring to a 2"+ tire
that makes the diameter approximately 29" vs a 700c with a 23mm is
approximately 27".

No biggie Jacob . Bike "standards" are truly a pile of madness ! One can
even buy some Schwalbe 28" tires, mount them on a 700c rim, and ride them
on a 29er ... and it all refers to the same wheel diameter ! Yippee !

Thanks, folks! I appreciate that. Makes sense now, the part where it says
29er *tires*...

Jacob, 700c and 29er, 29in all refer to the same rim diameter of 622mm. The
term "29er" came about because the mtb crowd wouldn't dare be associated
with them thar road biker crowd so they had to call it *something*. A
fatter tire would only induce toe overlap if the frame didn't have
Hey Jacob,
700c and 29er are the same thing - just called differently between the road
and mountain bike worlds.
