Yep just a different style, although they still have a ball joint. So maybe it just adds more complexity/cost to have the header slide vs. swinging pipe hanger
Thats an interesting thought, although I'm not sure how you would change the header length on a single speed without the swinging motion. Maybe something mechanical?
