English term or phrase: Blade (reposting with proper explanations)
Well, my client came back with the following explanation and photo:

http://www.myimg.de/?img=Bladeyellowabitdetachef693.jpg (The yellow bit, slightly detached from the wheel.)

"The English term "blade" is the translation for "profil" in French. It refers to a lightweight piece of plastic that is thin and flexible (a sort of seal) and that is firmly placed between wheel and tyre to create optimal contact. The profile of the wheel is thus optimized for better aerodynamic properties."

ולכן לא מדובר בחישור כלל, אלא בטבעת פלסטיק שמקיפה את הצמיג משני הצדדים, פנים וחוץ, ואוטמת את הרווח שבין הצמיג לחישוק.

I don't think it's "rim tape", or the Hebrew
סרט חישוק

Now that's a challenge (I may be visiting my bike shop to ask this...).

Thanks!

לשון מפלסטיק


Explanation:
You can also use לשון מגומי גמיש OR חגורה מפלסטיק גמיש but I would also keep the English term of Blade in brackets.

The Hebrew Academy uses לשון for blade in the context of transportation (which I admit is somewhat far-fetched as reasoning for my suggestion), but, the yellow plastic piece in your image does look a lot like a stuck out tongue...
