hello, although on the sram website for 11-36 cassette states its only for 1x drivetrain.
https://www.sram.com/en/sram/models/cs-pg-1130-a1

is this still ok to use on a 2x chainset? i've posted something earlier but i've seen others running 2x with 11-36 and up, but i'm not sure if its a dedicated cassette for 2x. can someone please confirm? thanks!
i love udon.

How big a cassette you can run depends on your reach derailleur and the difference between the front chainring sizes.

I run a 11-36 with a 48-32 chainset, no problems with shifting whatsoever.
The rear mech is an Ultegra RX one, the b screw had to be wound in a bit but not all the way.

It's mainly used as a cassette on 1x bikes for CX where you don't such low gearing.
