    Clunking when I first start to pedal. Normal? Also happens when I downshift to a harder gear. Alu frame. Could it be a BB issue? Or is this just vibrations in the frame and how it’s meant to sound?

      Completely normal. It happens on hubs that have low engagement, and it’s just the mechanism taking up the slack.

      Normal sound. You just have a low engagement hub so it spins a bit before it picks up, moving metal hitting not moving metal/lower speed metal.
