What is "SS"? What material does it denote, in this case?
Titanium is in all aspects stronger, harder, stiffer than aluminum. It's somewhat heavier, but not much. And it's much more expensive. Otherwise it is the perfect metal for almost all things bicycle, eccept the chain (and chainrings, if you are anal about durability like I am).
