So hi guys ,

I recently bought myself a new pair of wheels ( the shimano rs81 c50 wheels ) , but i started worrying. They have not yet been delivered but i was looking at them online and suddenly i noticed this on the site i bought them on: 28"/700c.

Now my question and fear is that they won't fit on my bike. I calculated that 28 inch is ~70 cm , and i measured my wheels i have now and they are barely 65cm. Am i being stupid with this calculation or was i stupid with the wheels i bought? Or am i worrying for nothing? The bike i have is the 2012 madone 4.5 compact , and the wheels said 622x14 on them. Will there be a problem?

You're fine: 700c = 622mm

Looking at http://www.sheldonbrown.com/harris/rims/622.html it suggests that they're also known as 28" in Dutch/German.
