I had a mongoose a few years ago that needed the bottom bracket ripped out and re-greasing on the threads every month or so to stop the creaking....even when it was new and it was a new bb....strange. :roll:

Newness doesn't mean creak-free! New things can be unlubricated or poorly adjusted just as much as old things.

My 5p's worth? Check the saddle bolt.

i would say strip the rear end, as the risse rear end is designed to be stripped, i work on and have owned downhill bikes for near 5 years, it'll be pivots bushings or bearings, i believe the risse rear end is bearings so its a case of tap em out replace them. Shocks and shock bolts wont ever creak from experience.

Hope this helps and its definately an awesome rig, looks to be have fitted with a longer rear shock, this could be putting more stress on the pivots?
