After 3 years and 18000km, my Niner Jet 9 RDO needed some love. Fresh paint courtesy of Bogus Designs then a full rebuild. Paint scheme inspired by the '16 RKT 9 RDO. Looks better than it did when it was new

Firsly I'd open the frame bearing covers and check all the bearings. Any rough bearings will reberb through the frame causing a creak. If you find a damaged bearing you can remove it easily by taping it out gently from the other side (giant frames have three grooves allowing a thin tool to be used to push out the bearing - eliminating the need for a bearing puller. Once the bearing is out - take it to your lbs and get a replacement. Then I'd use some clear grease on all the contact points on the Maestro suspension sysyem. Frequent pressure washes blow all the lubrication on those points. This should resolve any issues you have.

I run and cycle. There's a simple rule we follow as runners. Run into oncoming traffic - the human face is more easily noticed by drivers....less chance of being ploughed into. As a cyclist I've always been told to cycle with the traffic as you tend to do similar speeds in traffic and as such flow more easily. This is however where the two worlds meet - and probably why you ended up in this situation. Still, rule #1 applies: If everyone refrains from being a d#os, we all get along swimmingly.

Vipa. Hands down the beez neez

Asking a company to motivate its decisions is easy. Calling it a technical analysis is a little bit of a stretch. Clever, but still utter BS in terms of independent scientific research.
