Speedplay pedals
I have a couple of pairs of Speedplay Frogs and X2s. They’re getting long in the tooth, with the bearings obviously getting worn-but I still love them and rate them highly.
I ordered some bearings for both and then took the plunge, dismantled them, cleaned, relubed and reassembled them. The Frogs were a doddle and took only 15 minutes for the pair, the X2s a little more involved but again straightforward.
For minimal expenditure it feels like I’ve a new set of pedals. I encourage people who like Speedplays, but get annoyed about the cost of the official spares to try this route.

Given most of us are going to be in some kind of restricted movement over the next few months, it's also a cheap bit of entertainment . There is a lot of fun to be had learning how to maintain rather than throw away.
Ebay or sites like https://www.dulight.fr/en/111-pedals#/manufacturer-speedplay are apparently good for tuning and/ or spares (although I've not tried them yet)
