Between Thomson and Titec? You really don't even need to ask. Thomson's the clear winner.

Thomson. I have them on my road and mountain bikes. Indestructable, light, easy to adjust.

Thomson posts are far superior in design to the Titec posts I've seen. I'm not a huge fan of Thomson stems but only because I think they're ugly, big and heavy but they work great.

On a side note, I used to have a Titec Ti quill stem on a road bike and that thing not only looked good but was quite stiff and really lightweight as a bonus.

Titec.

I could care less about the weight and I don't usually ride hard on my equipment. At a fraction of the price of a Thomson, i would usually choose Titec over Thomson unless I get an AMAZING price on them.
