Saddles can be mounted on two different types of seatposts,
candle seatposts and patented seatposts.
Candle seatposts require an additional part to mount the saddle: the saddle clamp.
With patented seatposts, the saddle clamp is built into the seatpost and the saddle can therefore be mounted directly onto the seatpost.
This guide only applies to mounting a saddle on a patented seatpost.
For a guide on how to mount a saddle on a candle seatpost, see the following link. (See Replacing the saddle on a candle seatpost)

What you'll need
Important to know before you begin
There are many kinds of patented seatposts that all look slightly different, but their function is mainly the same.
Generally, they consist of two separate parts, connected and screwed together with an allen bolt.
The saddle clamp can function horizontally in some cases and vertically in others.
