I have the 2013 Scott genius (G930). Basically its a moderate AM 29er. Anyways I know alot of the new scotts have this new removable dropout system and I came across a creaking noise almost every time I put a good amount of pedaling force on the cranks. Turns out it wasn't the BB, it was the 142 X 12 dropouts. I thought tightening the thru- axle a little more would solve it. nope. so I inquisitively took the drive side apart, put grease on the frame where the dropouts sit and now I'm creak free.
