It's that rubber strip that goes around the rim under the tube to
prevent flats from the ends of the spokes.

Take your tire off and you'll see it.

It helps keep the tube from being punctured, and is particularly useful
on single-wall or drilled rims...

...on drilled rims it has the added bonus of appearance

Not necesarily rubber - the best type is 'velox' and is self-adhesive
cloth.
