Understand the basics before using your Transfer seatpost:

• Press and hold the lever during height changes: Press and hold the lever to change saddle heights. Releasing the lever will set the post in its current height.
  
  
• Guide your saddle as you change heights: Use your body to press the saddle down as you change to lower saddle height settings and to guide your saddle as it returns to higher settings. 
  
  
• Release the remote lever before releasing saddle control: When changing seatpost height, always release the remote lever first before releasing control of the saddle with your body.
  
  
• Practice within your abilities: Developing intuitive expertise using the Transfer seatpost may take some practice. Practice safely operating the Transfer seatpost in a controlled riding environment, before using it in a more technical riding situation.

Follow these instructions to install an internally routed Transfer Seatpost

Use the video and printed instructions below to guide you through the process of installing the FOX Transfer Seatpost with Internal Cable routing.

1. Install the remote lever onto your handlebar. Do not exceed 1.7 Nm (15 in-lb). Less torque may be needed for carbon bars. Refer to the handlebar manufacturer's instructions for use with carbon bars. Make sure to check for clearance between the remote lever and any brake or shifter controls.
   
            
            
   
   
2. Route cable housing from your lever into your frame's internal routing port. Push the housing through the frame until the housing emerges from the seat tube and extends approximately 2in (50mm) beyond the seat collar. Install a ferrule on the seatpost end of the cable housing. 
3. Install the cable bushing onto the inner wire making sure to seat the cable head in the counterbore of the cable bushing. Thread the cable through the cable housing starting from the seatpost end.
   
   
   
   
4. Hook the cable bushing onto the actuation lever at the bottom of the seatpost, seating it fully. Pull the exposed inner wire at the lever end of the housing while pushing the cable housing into the frame to seat the housing against the cable stop at the base of the seatpost.
5. Insert the seatpost into the seat tube while you pull cable housing and inner wire from the frame's internal routing port. Set the seatpost at your approximate desired ride height.
6. Determine how much cable housing you will need between your lever and your frames internal routing port. Make sure to allow enough slack for proper steering clearance. Mark the housing where you intend to cut, but do not cut it yet.
7. Remove the seatpost from the seat tube, leaving approximately 2in (50mm) of housing beyond the seat collar. Unhook the cable bushing from the actuation lever at the base of the seatpost. Pull the inner wire out of the cable housing routed through your frame.
8. Cut the housing at the mark made in step 6. Install a ferrule onto the lever end of your cable housing. Lightly lubricate the inner cable and thread it through the cable housing starting at the seatpost end.
9. Hook the cable bushing onto the actuation lever at the bottom of the seatpost, seating it fully. Pull the exposed inner wire at the lever end of the housing while pushing the cable housing into the frame to seat the housing against the cable stop at the base of the seatpost.
10. Insert the seatpost into the seat tube while you pull cable housing and inner wire from the frame's internal routing port (you may use friction paste with carbon frames if necessary). Set the seatpost at your approximate desired ride height. Tighten your seat collar binder bolt to 45-65 in-lb (5.1-7.3 Nm) torque. Excessive seat tube collar binder bolt tightness can cause the upper seatpost to bind within the lower seatpost.
11. Thread the inner wire through your lever starting at the barrel adjuster. Pull the inner wire tight to seat all housing. While holding the lever in it's fully extended position, tighten the pinch bolt to 11 in-lb (1.2 Nm). 
12. Actuate the lever fully 5-10 times, then recheck the lever for any cable slack. Retighten the pinch bolt if necesarry and adjust cable tension with the barrel adjuster if needed.
13. Cut the inner wire to the correct length so that you can tuck the cable end into the lever body after installing an end crimp. Install the end crimp and tuck the end of the inner wire into the recess in the underside of the lever body.
14. Place the lower saddle clamp on the seatpost with the longer rail supports oriented toward the rear. 
• NOTE: The FOX Transfer Seatpost can be used with saddles built with 7mm round or 7mm x 9mm obround or elliptical carbon rails. The FOX Transfer Seatpost cannot be used with saddles built with 8mm round rails.
  
  
  
  
15. Place the upper saddle clamp on top of the saddle rails with the portion of the clamp that hangs below the rails oriented toward the rear. Install the two saddle clamp bolts with their spherical washers and barrel nuts. 
16. After confirming your final saddle level and fore/aft position, tighten the saddle clamp bolts to 60 in-lb (6.8 Nm).

Follow these instructions to install an collar routed Transfer Seatpost

1. Install the remote lever onto your handlebar. Do not exceed 1.7 Nm (15 in-lb). Less torque may be needed for carbon bars. Refer to the handlebar manufacturer's instructions for use with carbon bars. Make sure to check for clearance between the remote lever and any brake or shifter controls.
   
                 
   
   
2. Insert the seatpost into the seat tube (you may use friction paste with carbon frames if necessary). Rotate the Transfer Seatpost in the seat tube to choose which side, left or right, to position the cable pulley.
3. Set the seatpost at your approximate desired ride height. Tighten your seat collar binder bolt to 45-65 in-lb (5.1-7.3 Nm) torque. Excessive seat tube collar binder bolt tightness can cause the upper seatpost to bind within the lower seatpost.
4. The path for mounting the cable housing on frames can vary, so carefully assess all options before choosing. Route your cable housing from the lever to the seatpost with the largest bend radius possible, to avoid sharp cable housing bends that can add to cable friction. Make the overall cable housing as short as possible, allowing just enough slack to ensure smooth cable operation and steering clearance. 
5. Cut the cable housing to length and install ferrules on both ends. Fasten the cable housing to your frame with the provided zip ties.
6. Lightly lubricate the inner cable and thread it through the cable housing starting at the seatpost end. Fully seat the cable head in the pulley at the seatpost.
   
   
   
   
7. Pull the exposed inner wire at the lever end of the housing while pushing the cable housing to seat the housing against the cable stop at the seatpost pulley.
8. Thread the inner wire through your lever starting at the barrel adjuster. Pull the inner wire tight to seat all housing. While holding the lever in it's fully extended position, tighten the pinch bolt to 11 in-lb (1.2 Nm).

The cable housing stop of the collar routed Transfer seatpost can easily be reoriented to provide smooth cable routing on frames with various cable routing options.

The stock orientation of the cable housing stop is down, inline with the seatpost. The cable housing stop can be reoriented approximately 60 degrees forward or rearward from the original inline position to allow for the smoothest possible routing on any frame style.

The instructions below guide you through the process of reorienting the cable housing stop of the collar routed Transfer seatpost.

To best maintain the performance and durability of your product under normal use, FOX recommends that you have regular Transfer Seatpost maintenance performed according to the service intervals listed below.

*For those who ride lift-accessed DH, Park, or Extreme Freeride or in extremely wet/muddy or dry/dusty environmental conditions where trail debris is sprayed onto the fork or shock while on the trail, FOX encourages riders to perform maintenance earlier than recommended above as needed. If you hear, see, or feel something unusual, stop riding immediately and contact a FOX Authorized Service Center for proper servicing.
