FD installation: creating proper directional pull for FD to function by using tube

I was trying to figure out how to create the appropriate directional pull for the FD to function.

When visiting my LBS, he suggested the following as there wasn't a braze-on at the bottom of the BB tube to attach a mini-pulley setup. He suggested using a tube from a cable housing, to provide an immobile housing for the FD cable in order to wrap it around the BB tube and then up to the FD.

As often is the case: a picture is worth a thousand words:
