Well there's two ways of looking at it.
Way #1 is that it's a cheesy plastic part that probably contains about $2.00 worth of materials and labor and thus $20 is a major ripoff. And I'd have a hard time disagreeing with this view.
But way #2 is to figure it'll probably last 5 years, and at 12,000 miles/year, that valve is costing you 0.03 cents per mile. Sounds cheap that way!
If you have a later model, I'd save some of your anger for when you need to replace a DI cassette, which has a similar lifetime but costs $200 or more ;^)
