Thanks everyone, I wasn't sure if this was common or not as all of my bikes until this one has them. I still wish I could switch the triggers on my mtb to grips, but SRAM apparently is not making 10-speed grips...I REALLY like the micro-indexing on my left grip on the Gunnar.

I shift the rear by feel anyway, I mainly use the indicators on my other bikes to make certain I am in hard enough a gear when I move to the granny in front that I won't suddenly feel like I am free-wheeling. I can listen to see if I am cross-chaining until I get used to this. It is just really odd to look down and not see those indicators
