Tron is faster than any frame with a non-disc wheelset, so go with Tron if those are your choices. See https://zwiftinsider.com/tron-vs-top-performers/

I received it the second time I went up there and was around 90 mins.

17 times up the Alpe and I still don’t have them. Continual gloves and helmets are pretty, no, exceedingly, lame. Now I would rather do something fun. But every once in a while, I get a bee in my chamois. Last time was 3 months ago. I am just no longer motivated to try.

If you stop and think about it, as a reward the Milenstein’s won’t make much of a difference unless all you do are KOMs. They are horrible on flats according to the tests. I decided that the Zipp 353 or the DT 62 make much more sense.

No, sub-60 can’t be a qualifier because I got mine after my twelveth ride up the Alpe, which was close to 90 minutes, my third worst time! *LOL* (I was hunting for the Yeti rather than the Meilenstein on that ride)

If you made it up sub 60 you don’t need the lightweights! Leave em for us commoners! 😉

LW wheels beat DT Swiss by 6 seconds up the Alpe. DT Swiss beat the LW wheels by 21 seconds on the flats! Not a great trade, in my book. I’d go DT Swiss in a Tour of Fire and Ice race, especially if I was at all concerned about my ability to hang onto the front pack in the flat early sections.
