How to pump this bicycle tire with this pump? How to pump this bicycle tire with this pump?





In general, what are some good material to read to become well knowledgable about bicycle pumps?
Do it like this:


Remove (unscrew) the plastic (?) cap over the Presta valve - if it is there (sometimes it may have already been removed).
Unscrew the small knurled knob at the end of the Presta valve (the bit sticking out of the tire) as far as it will go.
Press down on the end of the knob a couple of times (momentarily - for less than a second), to loosen the valve in its stem - you should hear air escaping. 
Screw on the adapter (as you have done in your third photo).
Push the lever on the pump head flush with the body of the pump head (as in your first photo).
Push the hole in the pump head firmly down over the adapter and flick the lever out 90 degrees (as shown in your second photo).
Pump.......
Flick lever in, remove pump-head, unscrew adaptor, screw in knurled knob.
Ride.......
