No idea how common it is but it seems simple enough to get a replacement belt, just email Elite or buy an equivalent one yourself. There's a facebook group if it helps https://www.facebook.com/groups/1380212845399014
Elite has some good videos about how to do maintenance on it too

What’s the second hand market in smart trainers like? Anything in particular to be wary of?
I’m currently using an old minoura(?) turbo that cost £100 15 years ago but a 2nd hand Elite Direto has just come up locally for £280. It seems this model costs £499 to buy new so 280 doesn’t strike me as too bad, but coincidentally I opened this thread on this post where @sumo is suggesting that the calibration can shift over time and the belt may need replacing. Is this a common issue?
