Ordered the fox transfer factory with the Black Friday deal. Installed and already have an issue. Dropper won’t fully extend (seat clamp torqued under spec). Between this and having to have my 36 warrantied, I’m getting real sick of Fox products.

Got one just like that
Slap a dab of interflon or tri-flow on it and cycle it a few times and you’ll be in business.
maybe a dumb suggestion but did you put air in it?
My 2020 Fox Transfer was just like that. Never found a good fix. Lube and clean would mostly sort it but only for a short while.
Until I tried a new post (added drop too). Now it works great, the new one.
My wife used one for half a season and ended up having to send it back to Fox for repairs. Dumped it on facebook marketplace and picked up a OneUp V2. Haven’t looked back.
Try loosening your seatpost clamp
Loosen the seat collar a bit and see if that helps.
Duncan dropper ftw
Anything you do, lube, loosen the collar… blah blah blah. Won’t help. Transfers are finicky, I have the same issue, went back to fox, it’ll do it again.
My brand new 1up dropper did something similar. It had to be taken apart and resealed
But kAsH1Ma !!
In my experience, all Fox droppers do this eventually. These days I only use droppers that let you add air.
I vote service the dropper, worth a shot. I had a brand new out of the box OneUp v2 dropper that did that. Who ever assembled it did not put nearly enough grease in there, more than half of internals were completely dry. Greased up everything with slickolem and its been running like a top for 3 years now, (with yearly services).
Seatpost clamp is too tight!
I also ordered on their 50% off deal and every once and a while I press to send it up and it sticks. I then have to reach and unstick it. Mines the black one but I feel we may have gotten the throw aways. Seems to happen when I need the seat the most.
my bike is like this too but I don’t really care
