SRAM AXS XPLR with 2x chainring

[Peanstein]

I may have been wrong when I stated that sequential shifting was not selectable, it just didn't show the 44t cassette as an option.

I did look into this a bit further and seems the S/W knows that a 2x up front should not use a cassette larger than 36t.
I selected sequential shifting and chose the largest cassette available (36t) it now shifts the FD before the chain droop occurs.

Parts I switched to: RD XPLR, xplr cassette, new chain

Really did not have to tweak anything besides minor micro adjustment on the RD. I paired the new setup in the SRAM App and could not get sequential shifting as it did not appear to be enabled in the app (it was when using 10-36 setup) so I will look into that today and see if it is an option. Possibly new FW may have removed that capability as I have read reports elsewhere that it worked in the past.
Any feedback would be great!
