This is a question Cheap Tat

OneEyedMonster remindes us about the crap you can buy in pound shops: "Batteries that lasted about an hour and then died. A screwdriver with a loose handle so I couldn't turn the damn screw, and a tape measure which wasn't at all accurate."

Similarly, my neighbour bought a lawnmower from Argos that was so cheap the wheels didn't go round, it sort of skidded over the grass whilst gently back-combing it.

What's the cheapest, most useless crap you've bought?

sorry, but I think that's quite funny. The Teflon coating isn't supposed to last anywhere near 40 miles, especially with mud involved. It only has 1 purpose and that is for lazy bikers who just hose down their chain and gears after a 3 mile ride through some dirty puddles. Not the hardcore stuff that you are obviously used to.

You should just get a high quality chain and apply your own coating. They do Teflon lubricants but it is very thin.
