I agree with those who think the shift lever clamp is loosening. The spring on the derailleur is always trying to pull it into a higher gear. I used Rivendell bar-end converters to put my zeus shift levers onto a mustache bar. I have to tighten the rear shifter clamp a couple of times in every ride to keep it from slipping
