What are the differences between rim strip and rim tape when it comes to bicycle wheel maintenance?

Rim strip and rim tape are both used in bicycle wheel maintenance to protect the inner tube from the spoke holes in the rim. Rim strip is typically made of rubber or cloth and covers the entire inside of the rim, while rim tape is usually made of plastic or cloth and only covers the spoke holes. Rim strip provides more protection and cushioning, while rim tape is lighter and easier to install.
