The wires i've replaced were all the same materials.
They wear and snap due to exposition to mud and sand and being tight and rubbing always on the same spot on the shoe.
Now that i remember, i replaced the ones on my Sidi with Northwave ones wich were cheaper than a whole Sidi ratchet, and i even replaced a Ks seatpost actuation wire with the leftovers!
The wires were from a previous generation ratchet and they were white and more sintethic feeling.
