    I use a block in the garage but found that with a slight road camber it was a bit of a effort to get the bike upright

    I also use a block in the garage to keep the bike more upright but that’s so the garage door doesn’t hit it.
    I recently made one for one of my other bikes from an inch thick piece of oak, spray painted black and held in place with three stainless steel screws. Not elegant but sits the bike almost back to where it should be after removing almost 2” of sag from both ends of the bike.

    Yes, still using the puck bolted on. Makes it a lot easier to lean the bike over onto the stand and then back upright.
    I first drilled a pilot hole in the puck and then used a flat wood bit to cut a recess for the bolt head, then drilled the hole out for the fixing bolt.
