I had a shifting problem with an XD2; I wanted larger chainrings. Then the chain was dropping between rings. I tried different rings of different brands; The ramped and pinned rings worked better. Next, Riv sent me some small aluminum shims. Plus, I had some shims off another crank. I measured them with a micrometer to use all matching thickness; Finally, problem completely solved.
