I don't think there would be enough momentum to put enough energy into them

No momentum of you and bike actually moving so you would have to pedal like a complete ******** to simulate a 30-0mph downhill stop. Cranking up a big hill will get you warm enough anyway, get out there you big jessie ๐Ÿ™‚

No matter how hard you pedal, you'll never take off.

Only thing the brakes will be stopping is the rotation of the wheel.

I'd be amazed if you could bed them to something equating what you would on the road.

Nooooo! You will trash a wheel doing that. Momentum of the inertia unit will put a ding in your rim at least. Seen it done on a road wheel - not pretty.

I think you'll have trouble bedding in the front pads.
