which hole is which?

IIRC the difference is something like 6.5" vs 7.5" of rear travel using an 8.5 x 2.5 shock, with the longer travel setting also resulting in a slacker head angle by about half a degree.....

thing is that i cant remember which hole is which

anyone know?

nah, i scoured that at the weekend to see if i could find anything - it does however correct me a little, its 6.4 & 7.1 travel and its 0.5deg seat angle and 1.0deg head angle...

yeti kindly put a note next to the bolt holes to define the travel, the merc garage kindly painted over it.... and the seat tube badge - gits.

but from the diagram on p.5

if the link is attached in the front position, i imagine the headtube to be slacker, which from the table seems to match the shorter travel setting....

short travel, slacker, lower BB - thats the one

or is it?

I'll have a look at mine when I get home, but I'm pretty sure the one closest to the head tube is 7.1 travel.
You threatening to use it? I was going to blow the dust off mine tomorrow night.
