Is this stem compatible with a carbon fork steerer?

Yes — the 28.6mm (1-1/8 inch) steerer clamp is compatible with both alloy and carbon fork steerers. When clamping on carbon, ensure you use the correct torque specification and consider a carbon-specific paste in the steerer area to prevent slipping.

Can I flip this stem to get a positive rise?

Yes — a -6 degree stem flipped 180 degrees becomes a +6 degree stem, giving a more upright position. This is a common bike fit adjustment. The integrated cap design may look different when flipped but functionality is unaffected.
