If the first position cog is an 11 you need the special 11 cog lockring.
I thought that the MAVIC spacer was 2 mm.

Ugh, I guess my LBS didn't tell me that when the sold me the wheel and installed my cassette for me. Oh well.

Yeah I think this must be a thing with Mavic hubs. I didn't experience any play with the Bontrager rear wheel I replaced.
