Another dumb Q before I order, which works best with the Fox, the 'light action' lever, or the regular?
Anyone know the difference?
Fox Transfer post...anyone on here have experience?

Anyone know where I can source a matchmaker guide clamp? (I couldn't find it in QBP). Stock bike came with a basic (no matchmaker) clamp.
Thanks in advance!

I've probably got about 6 of the little matchmaker bits that fit into the normal brake clamp. Will go and hunt one out if you want to save some $$'s.
That would be peachy!
Do you need little nub going to the left of the brake clamp or to the right?
Ooh, you may have another customer here, I may have use for one of those if you can miss it. Let me check what I already have.
Actually, I need the (brake) clamp that goes around the handlebar. Thanks!
(Unless I am looking at the whole thing wrong?)

What brakes are on your bike?
New Guides.
Should just be a matter of adding one of the little nubs like 6thElement posted above. All SRAM clamps should accept them.
^^What he said.
A rounded flat nut sits inside a recess inside the brake clamp and then the bolt on the matchmaker screws into it. You can just one of the nuts on the second from right on my photo.

Sounds, great, can I ask for a right and left to just be sure? You want a couple of bucks?
So I got my freshly rebuilt post back from the factory about a month back, the one that I sent in after 10 rides for failing to extend all the way, even when the collar was loose. I took my revive off to clean it and figured what the heck, install was like 3 min because I already had the cable run and the little cable nut fits just fine between both posts. Thing takes about 2.5 seconds to full extent, and pretty much the same to compress. Tested it out before I even got out there, fully loose. This means at speed, on the trail, some sections are already past by the time the damn thing lowers. 2.5s is an eternity it seems like. There's no way this thing is right. At this point, I think I just want my money back. It was already hanging up just slightly on the trail, although when I tested it after 3hrs of riding it at least fully extended...same 2.5s though.
That's not how mine works.
%$^&*@!!
Yeah, mine is the fastest post I've used going down and is just short of nut smash going back up. Initially it was disconcerting but I like it now.
Sucks that for most companies you have to get "a good one" to have a well functioning post....

Well, I think I know the problem. When I sent it in to fox, I put EVERYTHING in the original box and the shop sent it out. When I got it back, it was wrapped in plastic and JUST the post, also a little baggie with some random bolt (not for the seatpost) and a cable-housing end(WTF?)...Since they didn't send me back what I sent them, it's hard to inventory everything. When I installed it, I installed it with my previous bikeyoke revive setup, which includes a barrel jam thing to actuate the post. It fit in there, but while it fit in, the revive one is much wider so it was jamming against the bottom of the transfer mechanism and not letting it reach full travel. This is all because Fox decided to NOT send me back all the parts that I sent in. This still pisses me off.
Bumpity bump. My Transfer has recently developed a new auto-sag feature, about 1/4" of sag after having been dropped / raised, after that its solid until I drop it again. I do not think this is a remote issue. Has anyone tried to service these at home? Or having them serviced at Foxx?
Is the purchase date of the post under a year? You can always send stuff in to them for a "warranty evaluation" if it's less than a year from the original purchase date. My experience, is they do honor some things outside of that depending on the issue they are pretty fair with that stuff. The first 40 i owned came with a blue ti spring that had the end of it snapped off, I called them about it 3 years after it was purchased AND being the second owner, and no questions asked over the phone they sent my a replacement $200 msrp ti spring in the spring rate of my choice. Not bad. BUT, their site says $90 for a paid full service if it falls outside of a warranty claim. AFAIK, not user serviceable without proprietary tooling, as is most things these days.
I agree with csermonet, doesn't hurt to call and ask nicely.
I've had Fox warranty stuff outside a year from purchase date, one was a legit warranty problem and the other very much my fault, but they looked after me with no charge on both occasions, even with expensive parts and labor involved. It's not guaranteed of course but my experience was the same as above, for suspension at least.

When I owned the shop, I would routinely put a bottle of whisky in with the warranty items.
I NEVER was denied warranty.
Oftentimes I would include packets of aspirin/ibuprofen, with a note something to the effect of 'sorry for the headache'.
