The idea is to keep the tension consistent, so when you add the new rods you should adjust to the first line or whatever tension you were targetting. As for the tension reducing while wearing due to the gradual stretching or slippage; I would have to say, determine the reason why the tension is reduced. If slippage is occurring adjusting the tension will probably cause you to slip off completely, but if it is due to ligament loosening up, etc. I would adjust the tension to the target tension.
