Put a new chain with 10-28 cassete and wonder if it too short? Can I use it with my other cassete which is 10-30 (does 2 additional cogs will make it wven shorter?)

Yes.
No, however you’ve got some serious cross-chaining (your chain is stretched diagonally, using your largest front chainring with the smallest rear) going on.
Maybe
read the documentation, it will tell you how to size it correctly
Ya think? 🤔
Well yes, obviously, but it shouldn’t really matter because you should never ride your bike in those gears. Largest at the front and rear, cross chained. If you are a serious enough cyclist to have Red components and Campy wheels you should know that. Chain should be 1-2 links longer than it is.
Yes. That chain isn’t cheap either. Damn.
Seems perfect to me. Enough slack in the RD still.
Quite
Yes I think so ,watch the park tools tutorial on YouTube on how to size a chain correctly.
Very much so…
Dangerously so.
I can hear your derailleur scream
A lot of people here seem to not be familiar with srams strict chain length [guideline’s](https://support.sram.com/hc/en-us/articles/6180733844379-How-do-I-size-a-chain-for-a-SRAM-eTap-AXS-2x-drivetrain). Cut the chain where sram tells you to and set b tension with the included tool for your cassette according to the chart and you can’t really go wrong.
Either that or the chain stay is too long. 😵💫
Meh
How often will you be riding in that gear ratio…not often is my bet
No bc you’ve cross-chained. You’re using your biggest ring int the front and the back, creating a cross that should never happen
Maybe by one link. But you should never use this gear combination either.
Yes it will hard to shift
Post a photo of the chain in the smallest rear cog. If you followed SRAMs guidelines it tells you to do that before routing your chain through the derailleur. It’s fine you followed SRAMs instructions
