Are All Road Wheels the Same Size?

Hi all,
My first post and true to form I am asking what will doubtless be the dumbest question of the week :roll:
I have just ordered my first road bike having been riding a hybrid for years. Whilst I wait for it to arrive and because I am only now getting into cycling seriously I am using the waiting time to sort other stuff.
I have read the debate about do you carry spare tubes, a repair kit or both and it suddenly occurred to me I don’t know what size the wheels/tyres are the road bike i have ordered.
Are they all the same size and do they all take the same size inner tube?
Cheers

Only joking. The standard size for road bike wheels is 700c although some smaller bikes may use smaller wheels as may some specialist bikes.
What bike did you buy?
I ordered a Ribble Sportive Carbon kitted out with 105 kit. Upgraded the wheels to Rodi Airline Clinchers and ordered them shod with Vittorio Rubino 3 tyres... (he says like he has the first idea what all that really means) :-)
