Worth a trial but I doubt it would survive. The 3M tape has a fairly course grit, so I tried another tape that was finer. The other tape was worn through after 4 sessions. The 3M tape lasted 2 years and at that time I was doing at least 2 sessions on the trainer per week so literally hundreds of standing start efforts and slow rolling accelerations.
