The reason why I haven't put the spacer between the lock ring and the smallest cog is the concern that some how the lock ring would come loose since the serrated surface of the lock ring would not engage with the serrated surface of the smallest cog. There's a certain reassurance I get when tightening the lock ring to the smallest cog, that one extra click, just seems right and like it will stay together as intended by the engineers who designed it. I don't get that feeling when the spacer is next to the lock ring.
