I have a bike with an Nexus 7 that I use for commuting duty. Today, I tested a new bike with a Nexus 8 at the LBS. One thing I noticed with the 8 vs. my 7 is that it is a lot quieter when coasting (good!). However, there was a clunking when shifting from gear 3 down to gear 2. Kinda bothered me so I didn't buy the bike. All the other upshift/downshift combos were ok.
Do you think this could be fixed with a cable adjustment or greasing up the internals? Or, is it something that is wrong internally with this hub? I told the sales guy about this, but he didn't know much about internal hub bikes. I wanted to mention it to the wrench, but he was really busy.
