I did attempt standing starts on it once by adding some deck tape to the roller, but the resistance just wasnt high enough even with a 100+ gear on the bike, so all pure sprint stuff i just do outdoors now if its not freezing out.
That's the beauty of my Wahoo Kickr....no wheel slipping on standing starts...I just have to use my road bike. This is where Carleton comes in with his modified Cycleops Pro 300 spin bike recommendation....still tempting. However, I'm no giant legged sprinter power house, so with my Kreitler rollers and the headwind fan resistance unit, fork stand, and fly wheel, I can easily get to the resistance I need for a standing start simulation. It's just a really space hogging contraption.
