Schrader keeps disappearing into wheel when I try to pump it up?

Press the tire where the back of the valve is (using thumb and cahones)
until the air pressure holds it for you.

I'm sure it's the design, not the user.

You're exactly correct!

You can use Presta valve tubes in a rim drilled for Schrader valves. You
usually don't need those shims and all that [censored] some say are required.

You can buy Schrader valves with a nut on it. They weigh a ton so it's
probably cheaper and lighter to learn how to inflate the ones without the
nut.

Usually.

Get the grommets.

thanks I'll give that a go. I was hoping that there would be some other way.

You should buy tubes with longer stems next time.

For now, assuming the tubes you have have threaded stems, you can
carry the nut that came with the tube in your kit, and screw it on
when you're ready to start inflating. Once you have a reasonable
amount of pressure in the tube, the nut is no longer needed.
