DROP-BAR REMOTE LEVER INSTALLATION (24.0 CLAMP)

1. Install the remote lever clamp onto the handlebar in the desired location. Test the range of motion for each remote, brake, and shifter control lever to make sure there is proper clearance between them.

2. Then use a 2.5 mm hex wrench to turn the bolt clockwise and tighten to 9 in-lb (1.0 N•m). Less torque may be needed for carbon bars. Refer to the handlebar manufacturer’s instructions for use with carbon bars.

Step 1

STANDARD INTERNAL CABLE ROUTING:

This procedure covers most seatpost and remote lever combinations, which begin with installing the cable at the seatpost end. Contact your dealer to help you understand which instructions apply to your specific product combinations.

1. Route the cable housing from the remote lever into the internal routing port of the frame. Push the housing through the frame until the housing emerges from the seat tube and extends approximately 2 in (50 mm) beyond the seat collar. Make sure to allow enough slack for proper steering clearance.
2. Install a ferrule on the seatpost end of the cable housing. Install a ferrule onto the cable housing at the remote lever end.
3. Install the end cap into the bottom of the seatpost until the o-ring seats into the groove inside the seatpost. The end cap should be flush with the end of the seatpost.
   
4. Starting from the seatpost end, lightly lubricate the cable and install it through the cutout in the side of the seatpost and into the cable hanger.
5. Check that the cable head is centered in the cable hanger. Route the cable beneath the cable clamp bolt and tighten to 2.8 N•m (25 in-lb).
   
6. Route the cable through the end cap and into the cable housing.
7. Insert the seatpost into the seat tube while pulling the cable from the remote lever (use friction paste for carbon frames if needed). Install the seatpost 20 mm (.79 in) into the frame and temporarily tighten the seatpost collar binder bolt just enough to hold the post in place. WARNING: The Transfer SL seatposts are directional and proper orientation can be identified by laser etching “Rear of Post.”
8. Install the cable into the barrel adjuster of the lever until it exits past the clamp bolt. Ensure the barrel adjuster is turned to the middle of its range. Pull the cable tight to seat each end of the housing.
9. Hold the lever in the fully extended position while tightening the clamp bolt to the correct torque value shown for your lever (see image 3). Make sure there is a small amount of cable slack and some “free play” at the lever when the seatpost is in all positions.
10. Press the lever down completely 5-10 times. Use the barrel adjuster to fine-tune the cable tension. If there is too much cable slack, loosen the lever clamp bolt, pull the cable, and reclamp the bolt to the proper torque.
    
11. Check that the seatpost properly moves into all positions.
12. Set the seatpost to the desired height and tighten the seat collar binder bolt to a maximum of 5.1 N•m (45 In-lb). Check again that the seatpost properly moves into all positions. WARNING: The maximum torque for the Transfer SL seatpost collar binder bolt is 5.1 N•m (45 In-lb). Actual required torque will depend on rider weight, bike frame, and type/brand of seatpost/seat collar. Correct torque will support the rider and not interfere with seatpost function. If the torque is too high, the seatpost may not return fully from all positions or may not move up and down properly. If the torque is too low, the seatpost may not support the weight of the rider or may not remain stationary at the seat tube. Failure to use the proper torque for your seatpost/seat collar combination can result in loss of control, resulting in SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.
13. Make sure to leave approximately 0.8 in (20 mm) of cable length visible at the remote end. Cut the cable to the correct length and install the end crimp. Tuck the end of the cable into the recess in the underside of the lever (not applicable for drop-bar lever).

INTERNAL CABLE ROUTING FOR COMPATIBLE LEVERS:

This procedure is intended to supplement the manufacturer’s instructions for compatible remote levers, such as Shimano GRX, which begin with installing the cable at the remote end. Contact your dealer to help you understand which instructions apply to your specific product combinations.

1. Install the remote lever, cable housing, and cable according to your remote lever manufacturer’s instructions. Make sure to install a ferrule to the seatpost end of the cable housing.
2. Make sure to leave 25-30 mm (0.9-1.2 in) of cable length past the end cap.
   
   Install the end cap into the bottom of the post until the o-ring seats into the groove inside the seatpost. The end cap should be flush with the end of the seatpost.
3. Install the seatpost 20 mm (.79 in) into the frame and temporarily tighten the seatpost collar binder bolt just enough to hold the post in place.
4. Use pliers to access the cable through the cutout in the side of the seatpost. Route the cable beneath the post cable clamp bolt and use the pliers to pull any remaining slack in the cable. Tighten the post cable clamp bolt to 2.8 N•m (25 in-lb), making sure there is a small amount of cable slack and some “free play” at the lever when the seatpost is in all positions.
5. Press the lever down completely 5-10 times. Use the barrel adjuster to fine-tune the cable tension. If there is too much cable slack, loosen the post clamp bolt, pull the cable, and reclamp to the proper torque.
6. Check that the seatpost properly moves into all positions.
7. Set the seatpost to the desired height and tighten the seat collar binder bolt to a maximum of 5.1 N•m (45 In-lb). Check again that the seatpost properly moves into all positions. WARNING: The maximum torque for the Transfer SL seatpost collar binder bolt is 5.1 N•m (45 In-lb). If the torque is too high, the seatpost may not return fully from all positions or may not move up and down properly. If the torque is too low, the seatpost may not support the weight of the rider or may not remain stationary at the seat tube. Failure to use the proper torque for your seatpost/seat collar combination may result in problems with the height of the seatpost, which can result in loss of control, resulting in SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.

SADDLE INSTALLATION:

1. Place the lower saddle clamp on the seatpost with the correct side positioned toward the rear of the bike.
   
2. Install the saddle on top of the lower clamp. Place the upper saddle clamp on top of the saddle rails with the correct side positioned toward the rear of the bike.
3. Place the two barrel nuts into the upper clamp. Install the two saddle clamp bolts and two washers into the underside of the upper post, through the slots of the upper clamp, and through the barrel nuts.
4. Adjust the level and fore/aft position of the saddle. Then use a 4 mm hex wrench to tighten the saddle clamp bolts to 45 in-lb (5.1 N•m).

Step 1

Understand the basics before using your Transfer SL seatpost:

• The Transfer SL seatpost has two positions for saddle height. Press and hold the lever as you change the position.

• Use your body to press the saddle down as you change to the lower saddle height setting and to guide your saddle as it returns to the higher setting.

• Once the seatpost is in one of the two positions, release the remote lever. Always release the remote lever first before releasing the pressure on the saddle with your body.

• Practice within your abilities to gain expertise in using the Transfer SL seatpost before using it in more technical riding situations.

Step 1

To best maintain the performance and durability of your product under normal use, FOX recommends that you have regular Transfer SL 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.
