Hi can any help me! I’ve completed Alpe du Zwift 4 times in the last few days. The roulette wheel landed on gloves 3 times and most recently a helmet. None of which are in my garage. I’m relatively new to Zwift not sure if I’m missing something…All help welcome.
Hi @Martin_Casey_VCB, welcome to the forums!
Are you sure you are looking in the garage and not the drop shop? The drop shop is on the right hand side of the garage and is where you purchase bike frames and wheels only. The other items you unlock will be on the left hand side under their corresponding category (helmet, gloves, socks, jersey, etc.).

Yeah definitely the garage. The first time i did it i got a pair of red spotted gloves. Which were in the garage. But the last few times i finished the wheel stopped on the item but no banner came up on the bottom of the screen and nothing in the garage! 4 times this week I’ve completed it and nothing! 3 pairs of gloves and a helmet missing!
If you already have the gloves and helmet, then you don’t get them a 2nd, 3rd, 4th time. It is the same item, you can’t get them more than once.

Right! Is there only one pair of gloves? The only helmet i have other than the zwift ones is the lazer one, would that be it?
Yup that’s it
I believe if you land on the same item you’ve already won you get a 250 xp bonus instead. Also the first couple times I did the Alpe I was so exhausted I didn’t even think of going back down to gain the extra xp. Hopefully this isn’t the case with you as well.

What James said is correct. If the prize wheel lands on an item you’ve already received, you are given an additional 250 xp points. The exception is the lightweight wheels. If you already have them and the prize wheel lands on them again, you receive an additional 1,000 xp points.

Correct on the XP as the other poster said. Unfortunately you just need to keep climbing it to get the wheels, etc. Took me 8 times to get the wheels and now I am working my way towards 25 for the achievement. Not in a hurry though as getting the route badges now with the Tron that I got a while back.
I’m trying to climb it 3 times a week. Hopefully the wheels will come soon… And eventually the tron… I’ve tried to explain all this to the wife! She thinks I’m mad😂 Maybe she is right!!! Thanks for all your help and Ride on!

Haha for sure. Whatever keeps you motivated is all that matters.

Has anyone ever got the wheels
2nd time up…3rd time I got 1000XP…1st was gloves or something…only been up three times. Slow. They must have taken pity on me to give me the wheels so early.
I got the wheels on my 17th ascent!
I just made it to the top for the first time today. I got a helmet. I think that was just the prize for getting the achievement though. I don’t recall any kind of roulette wheel happening. I made it in just over 72 minutes, which was good enough to be 7th on the list, though I’m not sure what the list is…the times for that day I’m assuming? Or maybe just for the people who happened to be climbing at the same time as I was? (I use my smart phone as my zwift screen and I’m old, so I literally can’t read some of the small print on the screen without wearing reading glasses while I ride.) lol
It took me I think more than 15 times to get the wheels.
Now I have those wheels I don’t ride up there anymore. Ventoux is a nicer climb and more challenging.
Nobody has any real concrete advice on how to get those wheels other than just keep riding up there.
I suppose someone will just use a bot to grind away up there until they get the wheels. (Sigh)…
The helmet is interesting, but I don’t think they give any benefit aside from visual.
