Like most everyone else I go by feel ... but I probably don't pay as much attention as I ought to, because there are times I'm cross-chaining and don't realize I'm still in the big ring until I hear the noise of the chain complaining , and it can't be good for the shifter cable to keep trying to shift down when I'm already in my lowest gear. I do look down occasionally to see where I am.
