Does such a thing exist? Having swapped from an elite to a wahoo I miss the front wheel block and don't like the feel of the front of the bike wobbling around.

Anyone come up with a hack/diy fix to keep the front end more secure?

I use a high tech setup of cardboard sandwiching a hardback book, but that's for ~2cm stack! 😆

I see kinetic do one with variable heights, lowest being 1". Might be able to get away with that.

Use a normal riser block (if you've already got it) at the front and a bit of wood under the turbo to raise it up and keep the bike level.

Yeah I thought of this, makes it hard to get on off though, its like raising your seat 2".

Bit of hard board/thin ply with 2 bits of wood screwed either side, with wheel between them? A few thin grip strips underneath if needed.

That would only raise the height a few mm's.

Not if the piece of wood is large enough to cover the area under the turbo and all the way up to the riser block

You could lash the bars instead? Or some thin plywood with a couple of wooden blocks would be not quite zero stack, but very small
