  I only noticed a clunk when I was turning. (it was more violent on pavement
than dirt or grass.) It would clunk, and I could feel a "catch" almost like
running over a rock at first, but later it felt like a definite catch, like
the wheel was binding. (Probably exactly what was happening...)
   I didn't get any clunking going straight though. (Well, except for
when it broke.) ;-)
