Just cadence, please
I have a low-cost Echowell Echo V-2 Cycling Computer and am happy with its simple & useful level of function.
I would like to add a second device to display cadence. What is a simple and reliable device to consider?

If you don't find a device, you could always just remember what speed equals what cadence in certain gears. After a while you'd have a good intuition what an 80 rpm or 90 rpm or 100 rpm cadence feels like.
Here's a website that'll show you the relationship between speed and cadence for your gearset:

My old computer didn't provide cadence function so I taped a printout from Sheldon Brown to my stem to give me a clue.
