Should I be looking for any particular brand or type? It's for road wheels, standard ally with tubes and clincher tyres.

Velox rim tape, made from cotton so no sharp edges, easy to peel off and re-adjust if you don't get it right first time, stays in place, weighs bugger all and is cheap.

First thing I replace when I get a new bike/set of wheels is the stock rim tape with Velox, excellent stuff.

Glad you posted that. I'd have been too embarrassed to admit that otherwise.
