Thats why barrel adjusters are provided on most bikes. It is possible your cable tension has changed because you are getting some slippage on the termination bolts.
When I replace my cables I usually only have to make very minor adjustments on the barrel adjusters then the cables don't need to be adjusted for months. Cable stretch was a problem in the old days before new Steel.
