Made in North America Tubeless Valves?
So I am looking into building a single speed moun-tain bike and my goal is to try and find as much made in North America stuff as possible, partly as a challenge and partly because I wouldn't mind something that is sorta-local. I am considering going tubeless and while Orange Seal makes their sealant and tape in the U.S. their valves are made overseas, I am wondering if anyone knows anyone making them in NA or if there is one of such great quality I should look for that instead?
For those curious the only parts on the build that wouldn't be made in the US from research I have done are tires and chains. For those I need a 650b probably in the 2.3 range and up and for chain, a 3/32. For tires I would probably go with a Schwalbe or Continental and for chain maybe Wipperman because they are made in Germany and the Germans make really great bicycle components.

I'm not sure if the valves are actually made in the US, but you might look at American Classic valves. I'm sure you can find out if you contact them directly.
