Air Assist tube routing suggestions please

Can someone provide some pics or input on how they routed the air hose for the air assist?

I am trying to use the "Very Flexible" air hose provided with the LO-X7 kit but it seems that any way I try to route it, it bends and binds, catches on the rail, etc. I also bought one of those coiled tubes but it is not going to work, no room in this thing and it's also a little stiffer too and I don't want to put any un-due stress on the motors.

Any help is most appreciated.

You need a cable carrier so that the tube won't get angle and clogged
Currently, we carry large carrier but we will get smaller like 8mm on later July

Awesome man! I have some 8mm that I was originally going to use for the x axis cabling but it wouldn't work. I'll post a pic or two when I get it done. Thank you very much Marco!
