replaced, anothr cracked last summer(it was waranteed, but I bought a whole new post while waiting
for that part to come in, and this one cracked just now. should I just get diff brand of post?

I admire your brand loyalty. But I would switch to another maker.

Are you absolutely certain that you haven't over-tightened the bolt? I doubt these posts break very
often, and having three posts break under the same person seems statistically very unlikely. The
Chorus seatpost probably isn't in the stupid-light category at about 200 grams, although like all
Campagnolo products, it probably has the silly 80-kg rider weight limit.
