Compact Chainring (50-34) with 11-40 cassette (XT/XTR)

I have been very happy with my setup.

XPLR gravel equip launched by SRAM, RockShox & Zipp

My old setup was Ultegra mechanical, 50x34 & 11-40 using an XT MTB rear derailleur with a Wolftooth Tanpan leverage adjuster. Worked a treat and had full range with the long derailleur. So, same gearing but the rear derailleur sticking with the GRX Di2 will potentially limit the max cross I would guess. I don’t do it, but the big x big combo “works” and won’t rip off my derailleur. I’d be careful with the GRX 2x rear as I don’t think it matches the takeup of the XT I use.
