What are the specific limitations that would prevent a Trek Checkpoint SL 6 from being upgraded with higher-end components in the future? Is it solely a matter of compatibility with the frame and fork, or are there other factors at play, such as the bikes overall design and intended use case, that would make significant upgrades impractical or even impossible?
Considering the SL 6 is positioned as a high-end gravel bike, it seems reasonable to assume that Trek designed it with some level of upgradability in mind, but how far can one realistically take this without compromising the bikes original characteristics and performance? Are there any specific components that are more or less likely to be upgradeable, and what are the potential risks and consequences of attempting to do so?
