Supplies Needed

  • 2mm Hex Wrench
  • 4mm Hex Wrench

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.

Transfer Cable Routing

img/help/page3078-69GI/IMG_0427 copy-m.jpg

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.

img/help/page3078-69GI/IMG_0428 copy.jpg
img/help/page3078-69GI/IMG_0430 copy-m.jpg

Step 2

Install a ferrule on the seatpost end of the cable housing. Install a ferrule onto the cable housing at the remote lever end.

img/help/page3078-69GI/IMG_0432 copy.jpg
img/help/page3078-69GI/IMG_0436 copy-m.jpg

Step 3

Transfer SL Only:

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.

img/help/page3078-69GI/IMG_0437 copy.jpg
img/help/page3078-69GI/IMG_0438 copy-m.jpg

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.

img/help/page3078-69GI/IMG_0461 copy.jpg
img/help/page3078-69GI/IMG_0439 copy-m.jpg

Step 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 Nm (25 in-lb.)

img/help/page3078-69GI/IMG_0439 copy.jpg
img/help/page3078-69GI/IMG_0440 copy-m.jpg

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

img/help/page3078-69GI/IMG_0464 copy.jpg
img/help/page3078-69GI/IMG_0448 copy-m.jpg

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.

img/help/page3078-69GI/IMG_0452 copy.jpg
img/help/page3078-69GI/IMG_0456 copy-m.jpg

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.

Step 9

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.
