After being a staunch mechanical/maximum 11 speed fan, I'm looking to modernise for a new TT build. Rival AXS seems a pretty good deal, looks like it would make bike packing (into a box) easier, and the 1x (48 and 10-36) option would be more than enough range for where I'm racing. But I'm a noob and have questions as there are new scary standards and stuff. My current shopping list is:

2 x pairs blips
AXS Blipbox (this is quite a bit more expensive than expected)
AXS charger
Rival AXS rear derailleur
Flat top Force axs 12sp chain
AXS 11-36 cassette
Rotor Vegast cranks with Rotor 1 x AXS chainring (have BB86 so imagine DUB sketchy)
XDR freehub body

Am I missing anything there to get a functional 1 x system? Feels quite simple compared to what I would need to buy for Di2.

You don't appear to have mentioned brakes/shifters, calipers, or rotors, or a battery (not included with a derailleur, usually).

Also, for tt'ing, I'd prioritise closer jumps, so (purely IMO) a 48/35 and a 10-30 setup would make more sense for a TT bike.

The shifters are the blips and it's a TT bike so brakes are separate to the

functional 1 x system

I agree that the 10-36 will feel horrible for racing but each to their own. Good shout about the battery.
