Standard factory rim. I'm about to replace the tires. Do I need flaps as well as the tubes, or just tubes without flaps?

The flaps protect the tube from rust or any other irregularities in the rim as well as normal rubbing. Gotta have them.
Thanks. I was thinking the same thing.
Getting tires this weekend. Where can I buy the best tubes and flaps?
Good analogy...I like that.
flaps don't usually go bad, so if you already have flaps that are not torn or otherwise damaged they will be ok.
I got my tubes from universal tire. Radial tubes work for both bias ply and radial tires. They are a thicker rubber than bias ply tubes.
And make sure you clean the inside of the tire of any debris to help prevent flats.
