Thomson posts are often reduced to £40-£50 by CRC etc, not sure whether 25.4mm would be a size that's stocked enough to be included in a sale though.
mass + leverage + dynamics = excess peak torque at the clamping point. Lose weight, get a frame which fits or ride more smoothly (or all three).

Thomson would be your best bet, IIRC the inner of the post is machined oval and hence much stronger compared to standard posts.

The I-beam 25.4 is impossible to find apart from a short BMX one, I ended up having Ste's old one

I'd prefer not to have to spend lots by getting a new saddle but I guess I beam might be an option. Thomson is also more than i want to spend. But I guess there is nothing between £10 and £80 seatposts in that stupid size.
I think it's the amount I hVe showing and maybe something about my technique/mad power because I have also bent a 27.2 and snapped a seatpost bolt on my hybrid bike. Could also just be a heaviness thing...
