The XPLR RD lacks wrap capacity. I use both 33 and 36 tooth 2x RDs with a 10-44 cassette, by adding a wolf tooth road link and sequential mode to avoid the big/big. I hate sequential mode, so I took a step further with extended range RD cages from cycles Chinook. Now I have more than enough wrap capacity for a 46/30 and 10-44 cassette.
