I've removed in the past and drilled it out as well to fit the Di2 cable. There should be a hex bolt to loosen it?

Yes but even when loosened I couldn't get it out. It was making scary creaking noises and also I wasn't sure if I would be able to put it back in after.

You need to remove it from the inside. There's a piece of metal that spreads out when the bolt is tightened and it doesn't really get back in shape once loosened. You need to remove it through the bb hole

Did you replace it with something?

I could not. Could only loosen it but the clamps still held it in place and I didn't want to force it and possibly damage it.

I also had to drill it out a bit since the Di2 plug was too fat to fit in. I think I used a 3.5mm drill. With a little care, I was able to drill it in place without damaging anything else.

Same here.

Can I get this out?

No, mine sits completely flush. Maybe the holes aren't completely drilled out to allow for the "nipple" to sit properly? If that's the case, a small round file might solve the problem quickly.

Yes, holes are not deep enough.

This gap between headtube cover and spacers is normal?

Looks like someone cut the carbon on both sides of the tube.

This is my first carbon frame ever. Is this normal?

Nice, another colorful build coming up! Good luck with that mechanical though, as you might have read it can be a big PITA 

Thanks will do my best and if I struggle with something I might ask for help here. One of the main reasons I want to do this is to learn to fix my bike by myself when something is off. Bike mechanics in my area do more harm than good when you leave your bike with them.

Hey guys new build coming soon. This will be my first build after lurking here for some time. I finally decided to build a chinese carbon bike because I wanted a new bike that will make me want to ride more(my current one is Orbea Avant alloy rim from 2015). It will be my first build and it will be with mechanical groupset mix ultegra and some from aliex. I know that it will be painful but I hope I can do it. Wheels from Leon at Yuanan 45mm deep.
