    I did it!

    A bit later than planned, but never mind. I took the seatpost into the LBS where I bought the bike and asked for another exactly the same but without the suspension. It has a slightly different clamp (only one bolt rather than two).

    Putting my saddle onto the new seatpost was really easy once I worked out how to separate the two parts of the clamp. It's a good fit on the bike and feels fine to sit on though I won't get a test ride until dh gets home at the weekend.

    Putting the original saddle back on the original seatpost was really fiddly. It took ages to get everything lined up and the screws tightened, bits kept moving. I haven't tried it on the bike yet, will wait for dh to get home so I can get it adjusted right for him. I know which saddle clamp I prefer now!

    Thank you again for all the help.
