My 2013 Black Inc. has had the bb removed and lubed twice for creaking, third time it was removed, cleaned, lubed, and re-installed with "green" loctite applied to the outer surface of the bearing where it contacts the frame. Three rides in and no noise so far. There are several threads about this issue with several manufacturers and most seem to fix it without replacing anything. Be sure that whoever does this for you uses the GREEN loctite, anything stronger and you could end up damaging the frame upon the next service!
