Gilles Berthoud are stainless steel.
I fail to see how they would end up tangled in your wheel. They are securely attached, have compound curves and decent stays.
Plastic ones deteriorate in sunlight and eventually fall to bits
I've got some vintage aluminium ones I must polish up. They would look amazing. And not be heavy.
