Stem compatibility?

I’m building an Allez Sprint and stems are very hard to come by. I have a Tarmac stem that was a takeoff from an SL7 and I was wondering if it is compatible. Thanks for any input.

True but I don’t use that gear anyway, but what the 12-28 does do is add a 21 and moves the 19 & everything else further down the cassette. It also removes the 11 which is another gear I don’t use.

Are you certain about this? I ordered a 12-28 to see if that helps. If that doesn’t help me the worse case scenario is just selling the PM & standard chainring and then go to a 52.

Trainer bike question

What are the opinions about having dedicated bike for your trainer to ride during the winter months or is it better to just ride your “in season” bike?
