Either would work but if you can find a wider (700 35~45)
tube it would be better as it will not stretch as thinly to
fill your wider tire. At any rate be sure to find the cause
and correct the problem before fitting a new tube.

Thanks for the response.

Flat tube when pumped up was leaking out of a patch : ) I did not see any damage to the tire inside or out where the patch occurred and the rim appeared smooth.

The schrader/ presta fix I was referring to is here. Do you have any opinion? TIA.

Both valves work; indulge your preference or superstition.
You can put small things like Presta valves into big holes
like Schrader rims but not the other way around without some
metalwork.

Unless you have some need or desire to change, replace with
whichever valve was original.
