Yes- the tensioner needs to be tensioned every day. Since nothing else is changing (cable bolt is tight, and the cable isn't moving), I think the tensioner itself is simply loosening up. I've read where guys will put loctite on the threads to prevent this, I guess maybe I should give that a try
Is it possible that when you twist the tensioner barrel, the cable doesn't stay still, but twists as well. Over time it may unwind putting you back where you started. I have had this happen with rusted ferrules in brake lines.
