<Does anyone have a good feel for Hutchinson's ability to "bundle" their suspensions with TSA ? Sortof like Microsoft giving a real good deal on Windows only if you agree to use Internet Explorer.

I'd guess off the cuff that with 70-80% market share in suspension HTCH may have some leverage here. Has the company commented on a threat of this sort?>

The company,Innovex, comments all the time. They say their product is better and cheaper. Hutch mostly says their product is better.

The bundleing effect is not really meaning you can save money. Still costs more to buy a suspension with TSA. Maybe it's cheaper to install the head?

HTCH needs success in TSA because their market share is in danger. TSA will differentiate them and help them hold their lead in high end suspensions.

Regards,

Mark

PS Has anyone heard more about Read Rite's flex circuit program?
