Broke the one on mine getting the stealth seat post out to send the post off for a service. The seat post is now back ready to ride, but i need a new grommet. Jungle only sell them in complete packs (ie grommets for every entry on a fully interanl routed bike - I only need the one grommet) for £10, plus £5 postage, and they've sold out. So my bike is a bit unusable for the want of a little rubber grommet. Does anyone have one spare they dont need, or have any top tips for a ghetto / non-ghetto fix? (Other than buy a normal seat post and gaffa tape over the seatpost tube hole)

Try Whyte, they sell loads of rubber grommets. I found one that fitted my seattube on my RSD.

Sugru? My Whyte road bike ran with a Sugru grommet for ages.

Cannondale have a fair range of grommets available too.

And be open to buying a larger pack if that's all you can find. I bought a pack of 10 "Cannondale KP312" (for a Salsa frame) and after using 1 and keeping a spare, listed the rest on eBay for cost + postage. Sold the lot very quickly, so there's even an opportunity to make profit if you want.

If the hole is the same as on a 2017 CC model, I'm sure I have a grommet you can have foc. DM and I'll have a look at the weekend.

No idea of shape required but Bird sell them - https://www.bird.bike/product/reverb-stealth-port-bung/

Or just tape around the gap until you find the right thing.
