Once a year seems to be enough on the lube front. And as to the cleats - I do replace my cleats about once a year. That's not a big deal though...Originally Posted by songlady
Well, I remember the owner telling me that Speedplay pedals needed to be lubed once a month and that the cleats wear out quickly. He claimed they needed to be replaced every year. That's all I recall him saying...

I'm thrilled if my Look cleats last an entire year. Mtb cleats don't get as much wear and I have a couple pairs of shoes so they probably get replaced every 18-24 mos.

I also have Look style cleats and pedals. I wear cleat covers when I am off the bike. Not hard if you don't mind carrying them around. Otherwise my cleats don't last very long. BUT I wanted a larger platform and felt the Look design suited my needs better and for me were easier to get in and out of when I first started riding.

I switched back to Speedplay Frogs after a second attempt at SPDs, including a cleat fit by a physical therapist. The SPDs caused knee tendinitis both times. All gone now with the Frogs. You only have to grease the pedals once a year, and they suggest you put a few drops of dry lube on them after every few rides. I do that, it takes three seconds, no big deal. They are very easy to get in and out of.
