Presta Valve & Tyre Pump

    New to cycling and just tried to pump the tyre on my specialized allez sport and got a rude awakening - that valve isn't normal!

    I tried a normal pump I have but only seem to have succeeded in letting all the air out of the tyre. I also tried an air compressor but it doesn't seem to work.

    It turns out the allez sport has what is called a presta valve then? So am I right in thinking I need to screw the little but inside the valve as far out as I can and then use a presta compatible pump?

    Can anyone recommend a decent pump online or in somewhere like Halfords? Halfords would suit as there's one local and it would mean I can get it tomorrow.

    Pardon my ignorance please.
