Posting this as I know at least one other person who had the same problem as me with changing down gears. When changing down by more than one gear at a time, I had to lift my foot up off the lever, before it would go down another gear. Sorry if this has already been covered here, and apologies for my lack of techie-speak My dad did this adjustment for me, and it works.
In the centre of the photo is a 'round thing' with a holding bolt, and two dots that will be lined up exactly (factory setting). First you need to ease off the rubber cap that sits at the end of the gear change rod thing, then remove the allen key bolt beneath it (don't lose the spacer). Then remove the holding bolt from the 'round thing', then use a large flat-head screwdriver to wiggle the 'gap' in the 'round thing' enough for it to slide off. Turn it clockwise by one little notch, slide it back on, replace the holding bolt, then do up the allen key bolt and replace the rubber cap. It's a tiny adjustment but it will lower the gear change lever slightly and you'll no longer have to lift your foot off.
If anyone wants to fill me in on what the 'round thing' is called then that would be great
