I have a Giant, but it's all Shimano. When I was using White Lightening as a lube, the shifting was noisy. That's why I changed.

Hard shifting
It sounds to me like the cable tension is off just a tad... definitely take it to your LBS and have them check it. Is the bike new? Has anythiing been changed on it lately?

Yes, it is the "clunk" when the chain moves to a new ring. I got in in October 2006, but it's in excellent shape. It always did this clunk. Are you all saying it's not normal? I thought the Shifters were just made cheap.

Is it when you shift from the smaller ring to the larger or from the large to the small?

Are you actually having problems getting from one ring to the other?
Also, how often are you cleaning and lubing your chain?
