Inflation valve for tubeless tires

An inflation valve for a tubeless tire, the valve comprising:

• a valve body having a proximal end, an open distal end, and defining an internal cavity;
• and
• a valve stem having a long axis and extending through the internal cavity, such that a threaded end of the valve stem protrudes beyond the open distal end of the valve body;
• wherein the proximal end of the valve body comprises a valve seat having an outer diameter larger than an inner diameter of the valve body, and a corresponding proximal end of the valve stem includes a resilient seating surface and a radial protrusion received by a slot in a side wall of the valve body;
• wherein the valve is configured to be transitionable between:
• (a) a closed position, in which the resilient seating surface mates with the valve seat and seals the proximal end of the valve body, and the threaded end of the valve stem extends beyond the distal end of the valve body by a first distance, and
• (b) an open position, in which the resilient seating surface is spaced from the valve seat, and the threaded end of the valve stem extends beyond the distal end of the valve body by a second distance less than the first distance;
• and
• wherein the slot and the radial protrusion are configured to collectively restrict rotation of the valve stem about the long axis.
