Try looking in the FAQ's.

ps you would sound less stupid if you tried a bit harder to write coherently and use a spellcheck.

Dependng on year, the frame would have a Scott Nude TC shock (made by DT Swiss) wth lock out.

I am pretty sure the pressure chart is on a sticker on the chain stay but not 10% sure.

Read page 7 of this manual

If you are usng a different shcok, you need to be sure the distance between yeleys is the same or you will change geometry of the frame or worse, have the frame/shock fouling against the frame.

Aye, there's normally a pressure chart on the inside of the LH seat stay, but if it's got a Float sounds like someone's changed it, as above, the 10s have always had DT Nude shocks.

if it's a Rock Shox like mine then you set the sag as you do a fork

if i remember correctly when you sit on the bike and the "o" ring moves from your weight it should be at around 25% travel or 30mm.

long time since i've done it as once its set i just leave it alone, it's in the manual and on the Rock Shox website.
