What pump do you have? If it has a 2-sided head or 2 holes then it will fit.
First unscrew the top of the presta valve.


Then press the pump head (small hole) onto the valve.
Then lift the lever on the pump head to lock it onto the valve.
Start pumping. When you get to the pressure indicated on the side of the tire (probably 100-120 psi) flip the lever back to the non-locking position and remove the head. Screw down the top of the presta valve and replace the cap on the valve.
Wasn't that easy?
