Yes, very relavant. It means that next time you visit a cycle shop or use the internet to buy cycle related spare parts, you probably wont need to buy anymore. Althougth your experience (or analysis) may suggest that you need two spare rolls of this tape; if this is the case, then I would recommend that you buy some more. So, to summarise (that is, to state succinctly the salient facts) you should either not imminently buy more tape if you have sufficient, or conversely, purchase more if you feel you may need it soon. If you have any rugby playing friends, that need similar advice, I'm happy to assist; and if demand is high, I can produce an illustrated document, explaining how to buy the tape from a cycle shop.

I hope this has helped resolve your gritty conundrum.
