You have the vertical style. The side clamp style is essentially like the old fashioned seat clamps that were typically separate from the post (but not always).



Your clamp has two separate supports on each side, rather than one continuous one. Lacking any widespread reports of folks breaking rails and given that you are not a heavyweight I would not worry about that aspect.
