Sorry about the confusion.  What I meant about duct tape in the spokes
was that to get a bit of a wind load effect on rollers you can make
little fan blades by stringing duct tape between spokes on your bicycle. 
If you make all the fan blades blow air in the same direction, say left
to right from the riders perspective, this tends to throw the bicycle a
little off balance.  If you've ridden rollers before, you know that
balance is very critical.  A slight imbalance caused by the fan blades
can be enough to keep the rider from staying on te rollers for a decently
long amount of time.
