No grommet for dropper routing? Bizango

Quickly installed a stealth reverb at the weekend on the Bizango, and the hose just exits the seat tube and then tracks under the BB shell and up under the down tube.

I pulled out the rubber grommet that was sealing the hole that I'm now using, but it looks a bit ugly now as there is no grommet to run the hose through into the hole - so an opportunity for water / grit etc to access.

Is that correct? Have I missed something? Or is just running the hose out of there with bare metal around it just the intended way to do it?

    Yes, maybe - or a more ugly solution with a bit of gorilla tape.

    I'll contact Halfords actually and see if they do / should supply a more appropriate grommet.
