xtr m-952 rings advise please

[m3vwg]

right ive got these cranks and bb on my bike,the middle ring is poo heavy riding makes the chain jump a tooth,i know you cant get these anymore but goldtec do a 38t 112pcd ring to fit but they are for single speed so dont have the shifting ramps,will it still work?seems a shame to take them off

I suspect there is more going on here than the chainring...

What chain is it?

chain is a brand new sram 9speed,cassette is brand new shimano diore.middle ring has a few teeth hooked back.

Middleburn make a spider for these cranks so you can put 5-arm compact rings on it. Might be worth a look if you want to keep the cranks. Paying big S prices for these rings when you can find them isn't fun.

do you use the granny ring ?

if no then it won't matter.
if you do, it shouldn't make a huge amount of difference.

i run a pair of pace rings on my 952s and the back face of the large ring is perfectly smooth, shifting isn't exactly perfect but it works fine.
