This sounds like exactly the issue I'm having with my '65 Raleigh DL-1--see the thread I started earlier today. Lots of good links--I haven't had time to have a goo yet but the instructions on the Old Bike Blog seem pretty straightforward, even for a noob like myself. Good luck--sounds like a great bike.

Not quite sure how to permanently fix this though...Also, if I take it apart, I'm not sure I'll be able to put it back together...I'm most definitely a newb when it comes to bike repairs.
Appreciate the help though guys. If I can get it cleaned up, I'll post some pics.
