After I've tied down whatever object I always seem to have a little extra strap. I don't dare cut the straps because I do still need that extra length from time to time. I roll the extra strap and pinch it with a spring clamp. It works great, I don't have to untie the extra strap and I've never had any straps drag on the road.
