NE one heard of adapters if you use presta tubes. When I got my new GT MTB
they said I had to use adapters.

No, only if you want to fill up the tires at a gas station. Get a floor
pump; they all work fine with presta valves. I've been riding 30
years, and I still don't have an adapter.

can be damaged easily.

They also hold air better at high pressure, and are easier to use.
