I'm used to the single sound of the gears, but on the second-first and sometimes the third-second shift I'm hearing an extra clunk. Anyone know what this could be?

BTW , pads are a LOT cheaper than all the trauma of downshifting , but that's another can-o-worms . 2005 Model . Two Fast Eddy stickers , a bell and a clock . She's Lola . She tinkles and keeps time . http://s649.photobucket.com/albums/uu211/britbike05/
