How much would the head angle change increasing travel by 10mm?
0.5 degree maybe??
About that or slightly less
This site will help if you want to see what happens when you change things.
Thanks. Going by chart,it is 0.5 degrees
It's not quite as much as 10mm in reality, because the sag will be proportionally greater. I changed some Yaris and Lyriks from 170 to 180 and the difference in head angle was hard to notice once on the bike.

On my fat bike I fitted a suspension fork which raised the front end and improved the steering.
I no longer run a suspension fork would an angleset be able to replicate the steering when using the shorter rigid fork?
I worked it out at 17mm per degree once...
Slackening the head angle will have some of the effect, but there is also weight distribution and trail. So "dunno"!
