hi everyone, hi doc,
something has been driving me nuts about slingy rims.
in particular, their sticksaver rims. sorry if this has come up before, i don't mean to be redundant, however i've not seen, or found anything regarding the question, so here goes.
to the point, what is it, or why is it, that some of the sticksaver rims are short, while others are tall?
i'm referring to the upright part of the rim, that's behind the t-rods, looking directly at it's profile, from straight on.
the taller ones, they are flanged in at the top, however the t-rod only reaches half way up the rim. it's not a stck-chopper rim, cause it has that curved in flange at the top, but it looks as tall as a stick-chopper.
the shorter ones, look as if the flange might just curve in a bit more. while the t-rod, reaches almost all the way to the top of the rim. viewing it of course from the same direct straight on view.
i thought it might be due to the depth of the head, however it shows up too many times, on too many drums, leading to me to conclude there are 2 different sizes. i'd love to know why, what for, what's the difference, if any other than the height.
i hope that definition/distinction is clear enough to make sense.
if it's not clear, i know how much we all LOVE pics, i will try to round up a pic of each, for examples, and post em.
however i figured this would be an easy one to answer for the walking slingy encyclopedia guys that are so cool, and heros to so many of us.
thank you so very much in advance,

keep up the GREAT work David. LOVE this site, it's the BEST site on the web, bar none.
