Head tube angle(1 post)

Head tube anglePhat Bass Turd

How much effect does a one degree difference in head tube angle make?

I'm considering two high end fs frames from the same company. One frame has a 70 degree head angle and the other has a 69 degree head angle. Will the 69 degree head tube feel noticably "floppy" compared to the 70? This bike will be for general trail use: xc, small drops, etc.

FWIW - the two frames are the turner XCE and RFX. I like the lighter weight and geometry of the XCE, but I like the extra inch (or two) of travel on the RFX.

THanks!
