I don't know the correct term for these things, but they're inline with the front and rear derailleur cables, next to the shifters.
The rear unit has loosened to the point where it now gradually screws itself closed under the vibration of riding on rough roads, so it's now useless. It'll be a problem if the front unit starts doing this, too, because it's the only adjustment in that cable.
Does anyone have advice for preventing them from slipping, or putting a more robust adjuster in the front der cable?

On a well adjusted setup, no need for anything but the barrel adjuster on the rear der. After the cables have stretched, the housing has compressed a bit, these are not needed, particularly the one for the front der.. I say remove them.

That reminds me of that ol' pithy saying: a pipe gives a wise man time to think . . . and a fool something to stick in his mouth.
Before I learned to do a nice job on derailleur setup, I played with those inline barrel adjusters [hyperbole] at every red light. [/hyperbole]. Now I look down at them and just smile.

Alright, Whats the magic secret?
No magic, really. Just a methodical, patient approach . . . as can be found in either of these two (or other) sites:
