I've been playing aroung with my Marin Alpine Trail 06, trying to find the best rear settings. I know it might seem obvious to some but could someone please explain if the top or bottom setting is the 6" setting? And also could someone explain rising, linear and falling rates to me?

Bottom is six inch.

 Rising rate is where suspension compression gets harder through the travel and falling rate is where it gets softer.

 But just leave it in 6", i played aroound with mine and came to the conclusion that 6" has no noticeable disadvantages in reality and its deffo better when descending.
