I was wondering how well (if at all) a fork stand would work with a regular trainer as opposed to rollers. In preparation for this winters hard training, I was thinking that maybe I would be better off installing some kind of fork mount/stand for a more stable workout when out of saddle and sprinting. With the front wheel sitting just on the riser ring, when I stand up and try to sprint or even just keep pace, I feel like I'll brake something.
No, that would go in the opposite direction that I want. For that ring you need the Rock and Roll as it has the side to side motion. My trainer doesn't swing, so I'm looking for a fork-mounted stability.
I think something like this, but I need to make sure that it will actually work well and measure correctly.

Yup, the Rock n' Roll riser would go the wrong direction if you're looking to nail down the front end.
The way I read your initial question though was that you were concerned about torsional forces on the wheel/fork/steerer/etc. due to lateral movement when standing up off the saddle on your fixed position trainer w/ a fixed position front wheel riser. Seems like pegging the bike down up front might do more harm than good in this respect, but I'm no mechanical engineer either.
