they are extremely reliable but they are for advanced users and the stock shifter sucks

I would venture to guess he means they're overkill for most people.

Fair. But then again if you have the money why not just buy nice things.

Apparently reliable, met 2 separate people on the same tour where something stupid happened and theirs broke. Minimum 1 week of waiting time to get replacement parts within Europe.

I'm sure they are very reliable, and can easily be retrofitted to any bicycle, granted it's chain only. Maybe one day I will try it out, when I live out in the country side and don't freak out about theft.

op here, this is all i needed to know. if two broke on the same tour, then it is not fucking reliable, and the whole reliability marketing is just a scam.

If you go to the lengths of retrofitting one of those to *any* existing bike and even call doing so easy, then I don't see what stops you from putting a closed loop belt in too.
Anything can be retrofitted if it can otherwise be made. It's just that at some point it's not economical as the effort rivals complete manufacture from scratch. It's like replacing seat tubes. I can do that. But usually I would not.
Also belts that split exist.
