First off, I really appreciate the responses, you guys are the best. Come to Oahu and i'll gladly take anyone from here on an unforgettable ride, trust me...
Now back to the creak...It's definitely not chain slap or something moving (chain gap is 22mm, dont want to go tighter, thats not the issue). Interestingly, when I apply either the front or rear brake alone, and hope on the pegs a bit the sound remains, yet with both applied simultaneously and I bounce, it doesn't make a peep.... I think its maybe flex between the frame and plate... but since i'm apparently the only one having the problem hard to get another example to compare... I though maybe it was the same dog-bone issue as this vertigo when reviewed on trialtube, but thats not it.
thanks again, and I'll update the this thread with anything worth reading about... like i said before, not even remotely a deal breaker, bike and suspension still top notch, and i'm in love with this bike, but a premium bike shouldn't be creaking (none of my previous 5+ trials bikes made a peep when new) and sounds like this make me crazy...
