Please help me! I am trying to get my bike tyres pumped up. I have bought two pumps in two weeks but I just can't work out how to pump them up!!!

I thought it was straight forward just put the pump on the valve and...well...pump inthe air, but no.


Is the pump supposed to clip onto or fix onto the valve in any way**********Mine just don't seem to attach on.

I have a beta mini pump that has a diagram on the back about the two different valves but it does't help. There is s lever and if it's down it's not locked and if it's sticking out it is locked but it doesn't feel any different locked or unlocked.

Please help me as I need to get pedalling!!!!!
