Tube type. Spoked cg125 'chrome' rim. Pretty rusty inside, cleaned it up with some tin foil and elbow grease but the rubber rim strip protecting the tube from the spokes is all perished and snapped on reinstallation.

Anyone know where I can buy a cheap replacement online? Its 50". OEM one is ridiculous £6.47 + £5 post. + VAT. Rolling Eyes Can't I just use some teflon plumber's tape instead?

That's what I use on my pushbike, I can't see why a CG rim would be different.
