    Just strung, the stringer appears to have messed up a bit replacing the geommet. Will it damage my frame?

    No issue, IMO.

    If the grommet is in one piece and not cut, I don't see how it will affect the play or damage the string. Of course, it's not optimal because it is a little out of the hole externally, but nothing to worry about.

    I am talking about bicolour grommets like BS10 ones, they have two colours. The head of the grommet is black and the part inside is red. I don't know if they are made with two pieces of different colour glued or another process.

    I've not seen these two colour grommets but the all red grommets were available at E78 - they are out of stock at the moment.

    I have trouble to push in the grommet. I have both size even with small one I can't push in. Any tips without using the tool?

    I usually just use the side of my needle nose pliers to push it in all the way.
