ah! clever from Trek, the mix and match of AXS ecosystem is quite good

Kinda, SRAM doesn't openly specify that their Force AXS chainring work with Eagle 12 speed (much like Specialized using 11-36t cassette despite shimano stated it only go up to 11-34t).

Edit; they do specify it will work on their website (SRAM), this mean all I need to do is get a Rival derailleur, chain and cassette to get a 10-36t on the rear providing a nice road-like jump with a 40t chainring.

Is not possible just slap a 36t cassette and ride with the big derailleur? That's what I do with 11 speed SRAM, don't even need to swap chains, just change wheels between road or gravel setup and adjust the b-screw. Bonus if you have the same hubs, otherwise you'll have to space the rotors to avoid centering the brakes every time.

Not gonna work well, as the derailleur is designed specifically for 10-50, so it will shift like shit.
