Using the Ritchey Comp Streem saddle is easy. First, make sure you have the LINK seatpost clamp and attach the saddle to your bike's seatpost. Adjust it to your preferred height and angle for maximum comfort. When riding, the patented Vector Wing design will evenly distribute pressure, so you can enjoy a long - distance ride without much discomfort. As for maintenance, keep the synthetic leather cover clean by wiping it with a damp cloth regularly. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they may damage the cover. Check the steel rails and the nylon/glass fiber shell for any signs of wear or damage. If you notice any issues, it's best to replace the saddle or get it repaired to ensure your safety on the road.
