If you bought a Ritchey Link seatpost and want to run a saddle that isn't a Ritchey Vector Evo, this is the part that makes it work. The Link seatpost was designed around Ritchey's own Vector Evo saddle with its short single-rail interface, so swapping in a standard two-rail saddle requires a different clamp than what shipped on the post. This clamp is designed specifically for standard two-rail saddles to be used with all Ritchey Link seatposts, and it retrofits WCS and Carbon Link seatposts .

The clamp interfaces with the machined tracks on the Link seatpost head, so installation is a matter of dropping it onto the post and torquing the bolts to spec. It handles round 7mm rails and slightly oval rails measuring 7mm wide by 9mm tall , which covers the vast majority of aftermarket saddles on the market — titanium, CrMo, hollow steel, and most carbon-railed options that stick to standard rail dimensions.

One thing to be clear about before you order: this is a retrofit kit, not a universal clamp. It only works with Ritchey Link-series seatposts (WCS Alloy Link and WCS Carbon Link). If you're running a standard Ritchey seatpost — non-Link — this isn't the part you need.
