Strange rubber dot on Planet X RT-57 frame
Hi, just got my Planet X RT-57, and found this strange rubber dot placed right behind the chain catcher.
What's it for? I don't see the purpose to it.

Careful... It looks like you have grommets!
Thanks for the replies, I'll leave as it is
There are two ports on the left chainstay and a smaller "port" in the rear end on each chainstay also.
It's in exactly the same place as the Di2 port on my Ridley Fenix.
that does look remarkably like a di2/eps port cover doesn't it .... are there any
elsewhere ? Like around the headtube or rear mech ??
Whatever you do, don't pull it out or the compressed air that keeps the carbon inflated will escape.
I have attached an image of this rubber dot.

can't see the image ...
Pretty sure RT57's aren't electronic compatible ...
Is it covering a hole for Di2 wiring?
