Do disc brake bleeding and or rear derailleur install / adjustments. Also fitting a NEW out of the box chain for a new setup with no reference IE a chain that had already been on the bike would be another good video RU-vid is scarce for a good one of those.
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.
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.
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.
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.
I'm confused, instead of all this measuring can't you theoretically just insert the dropper with the cable and cable housing already ran through the bike and connected to the dropper, set it at the proper height for the way you ride , then pull the slack out at the top then just pull the cable tight and secure it at the lever?
Yeah if you want an extremely long cable housing come out of your bike. Notice he measured so the housing would match the length of the existing brake cable for a clean look.
@@Caballeroshotlol yeah once the dropper is in and the housing slack is pulled out then you’d just cut it to match. All that measuring was a waste of time and honestly a riskier way to do it
How important is the cable bushing? I just bought a used transfer post that is missing the bushing and can’t find any place that has it in stock. Tried using a bushing from a KS dropper, but it’s too thick and keeps the post actuated even though the remote isn’t pressed. Now I’m using straight cable w/o bushing and it’s working fine. Guess I’ll keep it like that until I can find a bushing or if the cable snaps or something.
I bought a second hand 2019 Bronson with a Fox transfer dropper post 150 mm. The set up is slightly high for me but when I tried adjusting it down, the dropper post stop working. I maybe kinking/ hitting the cable underneath?
Hi! Just got my fox transfer post installed, but it wont rise smoothly. It rises about 10cm and then I have to lift the rest by hand. What do you think might be wrong? It doesnt matter if the seatpost is clamped or not, still doesnt go up as it should!
Usually it’s because your seat collar is too tight. Too tight and it binds up the moving shaft in the outer. Try and loosen the collar and see if the post will operate.
I just bought a 175mm Fox Transfer 31.6 Performance series from you guys and installed it. I was wondering if I got a defective post or if there is a break in period as the remote (Wolftooth) requires an insane amount of thumb pressure in order to actuate the post and then to get the saddle to drop all the way down requires a lot of saddle pressure, especially for the last inch or so (it seems to get harder as the seat goes lower). I have a Fox Transfer 125mm on my other bike with the same WT remote and its WAY easier to actuate and lower the seat. Any ideas or suggestions?
Bingo. This approach makes no sense at all, you’re honestly running the risk of cutting your housing too short this way. That was all such a waste of time
Only if the post is having an issue holding with the proper torque spec for your frame. If it sits fine at the recommended torque spec and doesn't move then it's not really needed.
Absolutely, especially with the transfer. At recommended frame torques, the transfer has been known to bind up and not reach full extension on some bikes. Carbon paste can make this a non-issue
Why wouldn’t you just connect it all, install saddle at height then cut everything outside of the bike measured up to the remote? Seems like a bunch of unnecessary measuring?
4:26 seems like he could have skipped all this measuring and just installed the cable and the remote and then seen what seemed like a good length instead of doing all the math and maybe messing up
Sat thru 9min of crap to see the only part i needed and u skipped right over connecting the cable to the post. Needed to see that... Telling me you were going to do it didn't help
