Not been doing a lot of distance, but have done a lot of climbing and tough roads.
There's a pretty good thread here on the same problem:

But there's no obvious wingnut screw on the Gevenalle shifter to tighten. Anyone with experience of the Gevenalle setup and this problem?
Always keen on simpler fixes where possible rather than the 'take everything apart ' ones.
Edit: these are the ones I have

Those are Microsoft bar ends on there. You can set the tension tighter by the center screw that holds it to the lever blade...mine came loose when I first got them, but after the initial tightening, they stayed tight..
