Do your gears "clunk" while downshifting?

[Haggard Rider_imp]

You could well be right Ferret. Got new boots so no longer using 'normal every day' ones that had more feeling to the top of the foot, however, where all the upshifts to 2, 3, and 4 snick into place quite nicely, getting into 5th takes 2 or 3 attempts. Becoming niggled by it a tad.

But I'll keep on being more 'deliberate' and keep on getting used to the boots and hopefully will learn to shift 'properly'

When it does go in, it's very slick, more to do with the lever moving than hearing/feeling it change gear as with the others if you follow.
