The desired setup would be a non-stretchy rope that limits the wheel to just under ½ turn of movement in either direction - so it absolutely, positively cannot go "over the top" and end up stuck there. Then add a bungee to aid self-centering if desired. If you can rig up a bungee that will do both jobs by itself, even better - just DON'T LET IT HAVE ENOUGH SLACK/STRETCH TO LET THE WHEEL GO OVER because if it does it's not coming back by itself!
