Wait, we're talking $13 chains here
You may be, but when I search for 9, 10 or 11 speed chains on the internet I see list prices for mid-range chains running at $50. I don't even see $13 in advertises sales. Riv's cheap 9-speed chains are $25, and the Wippermanns are $78.

I used to love cleaning chains but now I just like replacing them. :)Especially not with chains running anywhere from $30 to over $100 each. I wouldn't call that "cheap" and I find it hard to regard anything that costs that much as a "disposable", not when it's so very simple to open a master link (Park makes some very nice pliers for this purpose), dunk the chain in a can of mineral spirits, hang it up to dry, and re-lube it, and extend the life of that chain.
