I have a M970 crankset. I was hoping to run a Raceface(RF) 9spd 24-36-BG setup (what I use on my other bike with XTs). The 24T RF inner ring does not look spaced out enough to run with the RF combo on the M970 (stupid Sh*tmano). Is it best to run the M970 24T inner ring to get proper spacing or should I use spacers to make the RF 24T inner ring work

Here are photos, the RF ring does not have enough space on the XTR crankset setup for the chain to fit - seems fine with the M970 inner ring though. Rings are all oriented in the correct direction same as on the XT crankset with raceface rings.
