BTW, I count 70 mm of spacers below the stem and, if that's correct, that's more than any carbon steerer is supposed to have. A maximum of 50 mm is the highest stack I've ever seen any maker allow and that's with a 1-1/8" steerer. If you really need that much you probably need a larger frame.
It is no more than 3 mil, enough for the cap to fit properly.
