I figure these will work for me since it says 25-35c and the 1 1/8" width is about 28c. But they have another tube sized 700c / 27" x 18-25c/ 1-1/8" TR. I'm confused because I've heard it is better to go bigger rather than smaller with tubes and the 18-25c range listed in the 2nd one is smaller than 1 1/8". Which should I get? Also, the 1st has schrader valve and the 2nd has presta. I don't know if presta would be too small for the valve hole in my rims or not...
Your good.

Tube wise it's better to go smaller not larger because it makes installing tires easier and their a tad lighter.
