This may be only a remote possibility, but I've experienced iffy shifting and chain tracking when a single chain link was binding slightly.
As to Silver levers not staying adjusted: I use a dollop of Loctite on the mounting/adjusting screw, and had no further problems with slipping. I do like the old Bar Con mounting design better, though; although I cured the slipping problem with Silvers, I found they are rather delicate, and I've broken 2 or 3 by having the bike fall over on them.
