MTB folks have the luxury of round seat masts, which kinda works a LOT better for a dropper post.

I've had two ISPs. A giant SL back in the day, and a fuji pro track bike. Both had issues. The giant ISP head slipped once the clear coat on the post wore away. I shimmed it with a piece of soda can and it worked, but really defeated any of the benefit of having an ISP. The fuji slipped dramatically from the time I got it. Like the head didn't fit at all. They replaced the frame set, but I sold it straight away as new. I'd love a new giant to build a super light climbing bike, but I've continued riding my TCR 2014s because I prefer having a normal seat post.
