There are two types, adhesive textile tape and tough hard plastic. Both work equally well but the hard plastic is difficult to remove without tools while the textile tape may expose the inner tube to spoke holes if chosen too narrow. Aero rims are stiffer but are more difficult to install because spoke nipples have a tendency to get lost. Always use aluminum rims, steel rims brake dangerously poorly in wet weather despite brake pad manufacturers' claims. Make sure the rim does not just have spoke holes drilled into it but some kind of steel sleeve that protects the hole.
Inner tubes come in butyl and latex, in various weights.
100-gram butyl is best. 60-gram butyl is too vulnerable to snakebite punctures, and latex leaks air and can rip off the valve if the tire slips for any reason. Choose a valve stem that is threaded all the way to the tip without any smooth parts because pumps tend to hold poorly to smooth valve stems. Generally I prefer inner tubes made by Specialized. Presta is easier to pump because one doesn't have to work against a spring.
