How To: Installing a Fox Transfer Dropper Post (Tech Tutorial)

Fox mountain bike suspension has always been known as the cream of the crop. Their history both on and off the race track is legendary and they continue to be one of the most popular brands in the sport. The introduction of the Fox Shox Transfer Dropper Post changed the game due to its reliability, good looks, and overall build quality. Available in two variants (Factory and Performance), the Fox Transfer Dropper Post remains a top choice by our staff and customers alike. Chances are, if you have a dropper seatpost, you're going to want to learn how to install it yourself. Rather than take your bike to a mechanic, we put together a start to finish video guide on installing a Fox Transfer Dropper on a Yeti SB130. Although it will be slightly different based on your bike, the same steps will need to be followed. Follow along and learn!

Didn't really think I'd learn anything since I've now installed two if these but the way Liam measures out the cable to find the spot to trim it was very informative.

[aldopettengill]

Excellent, I did my installation in a few minutes thanks to your instructions. I didn't have to drop my bike at the mechanic! Easy peasy.

[brenthinkle]

I just installed one of these. Pretty easy job for me especially since I replaced a failed post and the housing was already cut very close to length. I have one important nit pick. They are installing a metal seat post into a carbon frame. It's VERY important to use an anti-seize compound on the post. Galvanic corrosion can become a problem very rapidly in this scenario.

Man, this was awesome guys! I hope it's the start of a new maintenance series and I would love to see Liam's procedure for bleeding Shimano brakes.

[munhez]

Thanks man. It took me nearly two hours to figure this out. Then i found you video, so thorough and straight forward. 👍🏼

[Max-pttx]

Liam caught me off guard. I wasn't ready for anything other than 'What's up guys, Im Jeff'

Great vid though Liam Im sure this'll be extremely useful for some people.

A close-up on how the cable clamp fits into the claw how be a very helpful insert edit.

I’d like to see lower leg service on all forks. Rockshox, Fox, Dvo, mrp. Then a detail compare of the internals

[Mauricio]

great tips! Just in time, bought my fox transfer from WWC this week.

[mikeaitken]

Thank you! Of the YouTube choices available, this video made the most sense and was super-easy to follow.

[randallsmith]

Thank you! Just what I need to install my Fox Transfer this week!

[eddiesforktour]

I just purchased mine from a Trek bike shop. Can't wait to install it..

[peteristrups]

Have to say thanks , just instaled my fox droper post, folowing your tips, ----spot on :)

[rdub]

This was a better tutorial than the one from FOX themselves. Cheers.

[cartheym]

Thx for the video - received my Transfer today and installed it easily thx to this clip. The only difference with the 2020 model appears to be a change to the lever design, but it's essentially the same just without the tuck-in recess for the cable end.

[believeinittobe]

EXCELLENT QUALITY INSTRUCTION AND DEMONSTRATION. THANKS!

[alexknott]

Liam you are the man! Look at that clean cockpit!

[aazarzabal]

[leebridgwater]

Very slick, I want a dropper just so I can fit it.
