SRAM AXS Force sequential shifting mode...strange gear combinations?
I use the SRAM AXS Force sequential shifting mode which I find very useful
I have a 33-46T with a 10-33 cassette.
I find that when down shifting from say a 46T 17 to an easier gear , the sequential shift chooses up to the 46T 28 before dropping to the small 33T chainring choosing a 33T 24
The 46T 28 causes a really bad chain alignment and seems extreme....why this choice by SRAM when using sequential shifting and is there any way to make it drop from the 46T to the 33T sooner when downshifting?

Have you tried using the AXS app on your phone to adjust the shift points? Look at number 3.b) Sequential Shifting under Personalization, I think that may be the option for adjusting the shift points. It appears similar to the Synchro Shift option on Shimano Di2.

there is only a micro adjustment option, nothing about shift points unfortunately....it seems we are stuck with these gear combinations in sequential mode

The next to largest sprocket is considered to be perfectly useable, so you shouldn't expect the sequential program to shift any sooner. It can't be changed either. Personally, I'd never use the sequential or compensating modes. They can cause chain drops with unexpected chain ring shifts. I only set a 2 sprocket limit when I hold the shift lever. I want complete control of my shifting. On a fast approaching climb, I might shift from the big ring to the small and want no compensating shift done for me. I also don't like the 13T chain ring difference, so I use a Campy chorus 48/32 or Shimano grx 46/30 crank to get more range. A 2T compensating shift is usually what I need.
