I just rewrapped my aero bars and had a few feet left over. Can anyone think of a good use for this?

Keep it! I bought a Specialized "reserve rack" behind-the-seat bottle holder for my Adamo Road saddle. The angle of the parts made it so that the rack would not "bite" tightly enough on the rails of the seat, so when I hit a bump it would come loose. I ended up using a few strips of bar tape on the rails and some electrical tape so the clamp would "bite" and it's been solid ever since. You never know when you might need it.

Wrap the top/bottom of your car's steering wheel.

I ride rollers, so I take old tape and wrap it around the side bars to give me some traction if i accidently put my cleated foot down on it.

Rewrap tennis racquet

save it and use it next year for the same purpose

wrap the drive side, chain stay of your mtb to protect the finish from chain slap

You can spend a small fortune on these pre-wrapped bundles of energy, thinking they offer magic ingredients-not true. “Energy” simply means “provides calories” and not “will make you feel energetic."
