Using this rear derailleur is easy. First, make sure it's properly installed on your bike that has a LINKGLIDE drivetrain. When you're riding and need to change gears, just use your shifter as you normally would. The derailleur will smoothly move the chain to the right gear. As for maintenance, regularly clean it to remove dirt and debris. You can use a soft brush and some mild cleaner. Check the chain and the derailleur's moving parts for any signs of wear. If you notice any problems like the chain not shifting properly or excessive noise, it might need adjustment or replacement. Also, keep it away from water for long periods as it can cause rust. And remember, this derailleur is only for LINKGLIDE drivetrains, so don't try to use it with other types of drivetrains.
