I have had the same experience with my new silver shifters. They will not hold their position even when I tighten them to the point It's to difficult to shift. I am using an old M952 xtr derailleur. They've even frayed and broken the shifter cable. I emailed them about it a couple time with no response but seems from the latest blog I believe that they are addressing at least the issue with it cutting the cable. Little disappointed as they are really nice looking shifters.
