Quick tyre question.

I currently have Bontrager H5 Hard-Case Ultimate, 700x32c's and i'm looking to change to Schwalbe Smart Sam 700cx35's....... Am i right that I should just be able to use the same tubes?

Also the spare tube I have is a 700 x28/38C 277x 1 1/8" - 1 1/2"..... I'm right in saying that will be ok for anything up to a 38 wide tyre?

Finally, for 75mile off-roader how many tubes would you take with you? I've done about 360 miles so far, at least 50% of which have been off-road (including follow the dog once, which isn't completely suitable for a CX).... not had a puncture so far.
