What is the advantages of having a seat post like this other than the ability to raise / lower the seat post in increments? Is there some type of particular bike riding that makes the dropper seat post a must have item? This is the first I've read of a seat post like this is why I ask. Thanks.
I dont think they make it anymore. Just go with something similar, plenty of headsets that will fit.

My son is well on his way to converting XP over to a BMX w front suspension. Just waiting for new headset which was a pain to find. (Neco H185 threadless)
So far he has switched out the handlebars and removed the long stem. It is much more stable on the road but the tradeoff is that it is no longer a quick folder/unfolder. He brought it over today in a car folded and it took him 20 minutes to set it up to ride. It is now a good candidate for a bike rack!

So the boy has added the front suspension to the XP and I got a test drive today. OMG, what a difference. With the new handlebars and front suspension combined with the Suntour seatpost, this bike is now so stable and fun to drive. I wouldn't hesitate to take it on a trail or two. Don't get me wrong- I love Lectric and all they do, but my boy just took the Lectric to a new level. ( I just wish he would have saved the fenders!)

I need you to join our China trip. It would be nice to get a good mixture of Trek guys and Ultra renegades!

The bike looks sick. I was going to take off the fenders but I was like “these are perfectly good fenders”. So I ended up making custom ones.
Exactly what I did to mine, minus the fender rods. Its short enough not needing it. I think the fenders are overkill.

This weekend I took her to a skatepark to see how she handles. I’m not a pro but she did pretty well. I posted a video on YouTube if you guys wanna check it out.
