Hi Andrew!
in the almost two years that we've used the Belter now, I've never had to adjust the tension of the belt, the dropouts are still where they were when I unboxed the bike. Hence the belt is still the original one as well.
A friend of mine had his in use for one year more, and he had to re-tighten the dropout bolts once because they came loose. I'm not aware that the belt on his bike had lengthened.
I'm very convinced by that belt system. As you mentioned above, it is super clean, and ideal for transporting the bike in the trunk. And the kiddies' hands remain cleaner as well.
We also had to make ours a bit more appealing - we created a "Frozen" edition :D
