11 speed SLX 11-40T cassette on an 11-speed road freehub?
I would like to put an 11 speed SLX 11-40T cassette on an 11-speed road freehub (white Industries). What thickness spacer(s) are needed?
Thanks in advance.

1.85mm
(I'm using the one supplied with an Ultegra 11-34 T cassette, which can be put on a mountain freehub.)
I started with a 2.4 mm spacer, and came pretty close to stripping out the titanium threads, but fortunately that doesn't seem to have happened. I also switched from the SLX lockring to a used Ultegra. It seems to be more forgiving.
The good news is that, with a slight adjustment of my GRX rear derailleur B-screw, it shifts onto the 40T cog.
