I currently have Frogs on three bikes. I'm not as diligent about cleaning and lubing the cleat interface but I do inject Phil grease into the grease ports about every 500 to 1000 miles on each pair.
I've worn out two other pair over the years. The first died at over 30,000 miles when the inner stops finally broke off of both sides of the right pedal (the foot I always unclip at stops) and the second ate the inner needle bearing at 38,000 miles.
You can get complete bearing and outer plate rebuild kits but they are priced high enough that buying a new pair is almost the same cost and new pedals come with new cleats. At over 30,000 miles a pair, I have no complaints!
