Hum, well maybe there's my disconnect from most on here, I can feel the change in HTA if I swap from a 2.3" to a 2.5" tyre, and need to adjust my saddle angle. Also, depending on if I'm wearing padded shorts and which ones, I have to adjust my saddle height, millimeters make the world of difference to me in this regard, if I need to adjust more than 3mm it's a "mile off".
This being said, would have to agree with Andrew on this one, most won't easily feel a degree change to the betterment if the bike really needs to be slackened.
_**"That said, I can only go off my experience, but I think any bike where you're actually thinking "I wish this was slacker" you're better to go -2° and get a real change. The difference is much more notable.
On bikes where you're like "I wonder if I'd enjoy this bike if it was a bit slacker, it's really great now," like when I tested the Banshee Titan, a 1° is probably the perfect experimentation point."**_
