Topeak do an adapter mount to use their QuickClip bags with an iBeam saddle.

If your SDG saddle hasn't got one, you need to buy one of these clip mounts;- http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=32204 and then do a search for Topeak Quick Clip bags as mentioned above.

I lost a bag that just had the clip and find the bags with the extra vecro strap to go round the seat tube are more secure.

Actually I've just done some research, (walked out to the garage) the Bel Air has a hole for the mount but the Ibeam doesn't.

I guess I'll need a post mounted bag, suggestions?

Interesting, I have 4 SDG FX i-beam saddles and all have the screw hole for the quick clip. The i-fly on my DH bike doesn't though, but then I don't want a saddle bag on the DH bike ๐Ÿ˜†

What i-beam saddle is yours?

As above - almost all SDG saddles have the screw hole for the quick clip, but the I-Fly does not (presumably to save weight).

If you want a saddle bag you'll need to either:
- swap out your I-Fly for a saddle with a screw hole
- find a saddle bag that only needs to be attached to the post and not the seat

Sadly I don't know of any bags that attach to just the post - every one I've seen attaches to the saddle somehow to stop it slipping down when loaded up.
