SETUP & INSTALLATION
2026 Twin-Stick Remote
WARNING: Always wear safety glasses and protective gloves during service to prevent potential injury. Failure to wear protective equipment during service may lead to SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.
WARNING: FOX products should be installed by a qualified bicycle service technician, in accordance with FOX installation specifications. If you have any doubts as to whether or not you can properly install the remote lever on your bicycle, defer to a professionally trained bicycle service technician. Improperly installed products can fail, causing the rider to lose control, potentially causing SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.
WARNING: Make sure that the remote lever does not interfere with normal brake and shift lever operation. Failure to do so can result in loss of control, potentially causing SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.
WARNING: Make sure to leave enough cable housing length to accommodate normal steering operation. Failure to do so can result in loss of control, potentially causing SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.
Twin-Stick Remote Installation
Trail Arm Swap
Transfer Cable Routing
Step 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.
Step 4
Transfer SL
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.
Transfer
Install the cable bushing onto the cable. Seat the cable head into the counterbore of the cable bushing. Install the cable into the cable housing starting from the seatpost end.
Step 6
Transfer SL
Route the cable through the end cap and into the cable housing. 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.”
Transfer
Seat the cable bushing into the actuation cradle at the bottom of the seatpost. Pull the cable at the lever end while pushing the cable housing into the frame to seat the housing against the cable stop at the base of the seatpost
Step 7
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.
Hold the lever in the fully extended position while tightening the clamp bolt to the correct torque value shown for your lever. Make sure there is a small amount of cable slack and some “free play” at the lever when the seatpost is in all positions.
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.
Step 8
Check that the seatpost properly moves into all positions.
Set the seatpost to the desired height and tighten the seat collar binder bolt to a maximum of 5.1 Nm (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 Nm (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.
