Awesome Bike! I have Ripley OG and just swapped out the shock for a new 2018 fox factory model. Really nice upgrade and spruce up for the 5 year old ride. I have ridden the new ones back to back with the old and I prefer the older geo. Ibis went with the industry trend of longer and slacker. Makes for easier more descending but takes the playful/ response aspects out of the bike. I do not get too rowdy on the downhills these days so I like playful. Check out the numbers of the new Ripmo, it looks like a beast. Ibis has always been known for their quick responsive bikes I wish they would go back to that design ethos.

Creaks: check your seat post torque and play, keep it clean (I find a little bit crap getting in their can start it creaking), pay attention to torque specs for all connections, and/or maybe needs a some new bushings in the links. Set up right it should not creak. They can be finicky but all thoroughbreds are.
