Like Jay, I didn't buy the XD2 wide/low double. But I was riding a 26-36-46 triple XD2 and found the 36 a little low, so I put a 46 in the middle (I didn't use the ring that came with the crank because it was ramped & pinned) and put an old 52 with the teeth cut off on the outside. I rode it as a 42-46 for a while. The shifting wasn't great, but not a big deal because I rarely used the little gear. For the D2R2 I replace the 26 with a 30 because I knew I'd be using the low gear a lot more and wanted better shifting.
If I were buying a new crank, I wouldn't hesitate to buy the setup that Riv sells. Long story short, I wanted a Rene Herse compact double crank so I tried out the same gearing with the crank and chainrings I already had sitting around. And the guard keeps my pants slightly cleaner!
