The slim option appeared about mid last year from memory. I had only a few weeks earlier paid thorn to install the regular splined carrier and was preparing to start dicking around with my chainline when the S version arrived on the shelves so I ordered one and swapped it over.
Here's the S

Here's the Non S

Anybody want a barely used 57mm splined carrier for Rohloff?
I'd also read on the Thorn forum that the S version "might" have been developed for the Hebe chaincase lot as the 57mm chainline would stop the chaincase working as it couldn't be mounted.
