Every day is a learning day J. My mate DodgyRoger (who you know :) ) was only telling me in the pub recently about innies and outies after he was watching one of his favourite late night TV shows. ;D ;D

Are we talking about nipples?

The rears usually have two beed lock clamps to try and stop this happening, but often not tightened sufficiently to be fully effective, you have to winch them down real tight if you want to run low pressure.
An old endure race mod was to drill a hole on the tyre sidewall to take the valve out through there such that it would then go with the tyre if it rotated in use.
Believe that the moto-gp rears run at about 9 psi static pressure and can rotate to then put them out of balance. Valve not affected as tubeless arrangement.

The comment about the endurance bike mod reminded me of what I used to to do with the rear speedway tyre valve Nigel. I use to push it out of the sidewall of the tyre as it made it quicker to change the tyre and because we used to run the rear tyre between 8-14psi depending on how deep or slick the track was. Iwade was always slick but Milton Keynes was always deep. If the valve came out through the centre of the rim it would get ripped out when the tyre 'crinckled' under power during a broadslide. Speedway tyres are now tubeless.
