do Schwinns bicycles have a specific that can valve stem that's different from any other car or vehicle? the way the packaging markets this pump makes it seem like you can Pump Air in anything that's needed with it it says best for everyday use bikes and Inflatables it comes with the little needle attachment for stuff like soccer balls and basketballs, it has a little plastic attachment for things like inflatable rafts you would take to the beach and then it appears to have the attachment for a normal valve stem like you would see on a bicycle or car and then it comes with the attachment you see mainly on specialty bicycles that have that smaller valve stem but for the life of me I cannot get this thing to attach to any bicycle what am I doing wrong? I didn't buy it at a bicycle store but I went back to the store I purchased it from and picked up a brand new one off the shelf and attached it to a few different bicycles and the same thing it just would not attach to any valve stems then I grabbed a different Schwinn bike pump one of the foot pumps and the same thing they would not attach to any of the pumps.

Connector had two attachment points – presto (you don’t need that one) and Schrader ( big one ),
Also it has a lever which switch it from open to closed condition. Try to set it vertical (on mine vertical – parallel to valve means open), put it on, (you should hear pss sound if there’s still air in tire), then close it. After that attachment should be fixed on valve and don’t fall off easily. Then start pumping.
