Is it repeatable? If you turn while downshifting will it happen again?

If it does, try turning while not shifting. My first thought was brakes, because they can grind when getting to the end of their life. And the front wheel is right by the clutch. I doubt it's tranny related from your description. Theres nothing down there to grind. The clutch is on the other side of your leg.
