Lightcarbon: New LCR017-D (or Yishun R1058-D)

That last spacer should not make contact with the frame at all. The compression happens with the metal pass-thru washer that's resting against the top bearing at the head tube.  Either that pass thru washer should be thinner by .5mm or that final plastic spacer should have a deeper well to cover more of the pass thru washer as per the last pic

That is what I am expecting, too. As said, I am new to internal cable routing and I might have made a mistake but this looks strange. Had already funny pictures in my head what I could have done wrong with the washer or the bearing 
Ideally, I will disassemble the headset today and double-check.

@Sakizashi: The "grinding paste" is a fair point. Especially if the gap remains as seen on the pictures, regular checking of the headset unit will be necessary. I would not have used grease on lower parts of the bike anyway. Stem and handlebars were my main thought.

If its the norm, which is unusual, I have seen a youtuber named oz cycle who has a youtube video dealing with headset space and how to protect it from water using a rubber gasket or a seating washer titled Thread cables thru frame - How to {you can start clip at 2 minutes in)

Yeah he went to prison for stealing his neighbour's dog and then starving and beating it to death.

I just read the article about it mentioned that he has autism. I don't think it's an excuse, but I also have autism and sounds can drive me nuts and to the brink of insanity. I can't imagine killing an animal but can't get into another person's mind either.

apparently he got 'diagnosed' right before his court case and after he had kidnapped, beaten then starved and then beaten the dog to death a few day later. so i don't buy it.

i'm the same with sounds as you, there is no excuse for animal cruelty.

Maybe the gap is coming from your headset bearings (different sizing top/bottom), that was my issue after building the Yoeleo G21 Batch 1 without the guiding they are providing now. Check that and could be that after switching out the .5mm are gone.

Thanks, @fiveup89. I will double-check this. I am pretty sure I did it before because I was wondering if they are the same or not but did not think about the washer.

Thanks also for the Oz Cycle video. Good inspiration where to get fitting o-rings

Different topic: I was fiddling with the SRAM Rival front derailleur and even though there setup tool is a great help, I have issues keeping the derailleur aligned with the chainring when tightening the screw. Any advice or shim-recommendations or Oz-videos how to manage this?

[dinorello]

I don't have this bike, but worth noting that the specs for FSA ACR and Deda DCR headsets are ~4nm of preload, not the ~2nm that most people are used to with traditional headsets.

Also would NOT use grease on cables it will attract dirt and make a nice griding paste in your frame.
