Your cables are just getting broken in which is normal and as others have said, just tighten the D ring. And not too tight. You'll know. Just loosen or tighten to your liking. Just think if it as a old radio knob where you dial in the station. It'll feel and sound right.
I have another bike w/the thumbies. How do you tighten those? Looks like there is a bolt but I haven't tried it b/c I don't want to mess anything up. It was ghost shifting so I know it needs to tighten but where?
