What you should do is stop breaking seatposts by improving your
technique.

A decent rail adapter shouldn't break... But if they do, buy a Scott
Wallis cf base. They're expensive but worth it. That, combined with a
thomson seatpost, will be stronger than anything you can throw at it.

I'm going to second this observation. The Wallis CF base is the
ultimate upgrade for your unicycle. It negates the need for a rail
adapter but gives you all of the freedom of a rail-mounted seat (i.e.
adjustable angle). And you're going to break yourself before you even
scratch this base.

If you wanna save about $50 you can get yourself a Primo Rod
seatpost... it's way heavier than the Thomson but comparable in
strength.

just phone darren (bedford unicycles) and get him to make you a thick
Chromoly seat post. they are much stronger then regular thin walled
seat post. i have seen people break a frame but the seat post didn't
bend even slightly... and it was a 22.2mm so a 25.4 would be even
stronger. By the way if you want a rail type just get one from darren
(bedford unicycles) if you have a standard 4 bolt design seat then get
a KH rail type adapter... if you have a mayata style bolt system then
get a mayata adapter.

Having broken 7 different seatposts in 7 different ways, i'd highly
recommned the Thomson. Really light, really strong, and it has an
adjustable angle

Its stood up to a lot of aggressive street and trials riding, and the
rail adapter hasn't proven to be a problem at all.
