How many cylinders your flash drive has depends on how how many its boot sector says it has and nothing else. This is because 'cylinders' are wholly imaginary on any device which supports modern logical block addressing.
You're not "missing" cylinders either. If you have fewer cylinders on the same sized device, they must be larger cylinders too.
