I bought a cheap new bike and the threading on the crank arm got stripped. I don't have the tools to replace it yet so I can't tell if it's a diamond or square hole. Is one more common for mountain bikes?

fyi any black components that aren't carbon can be sanded down to metal and polished, if you ever need something that doesn't come in silver.
also, you can paint carbon.
also, it's "per sé"

looking for some opinions.
I have a BMX that i just do tricks on but its not great for travel. Im looking for just a bike for cruising.
I know that a simple road bike is probably what I should get. but i kind of want a mountain bike, even though I will probably just use it for cruising.
Should i get a road bike, or a mountain bike? I was also interested in knowing what 500 bucks can get, used or new. what would even be worth it?

look into gravel bikes and "good" hybrids, too.
if you get an mtb, an older, no-suspension one with more slick tires is more like what you need. also, many quality sus forks have a lockout feature. if you aren't hucking big jumps and tearing ass through big rocks and roots, fat tires are really the only suspension you need.
but a road bike really is best for road.
someone posted this, dunno how good it is>>2070142

but for <500, you're looking at used. which is fine, but check with us before you buy

I recently finished my longest ride yet (>80 miles), and had my lower back begin to implode 2/3rds in, while my legs, arms, and lungs were still going strong. Is this normal, or could it be related to my odd setup (very extended aerobars)? How should one bikefit for aerobars?

I think gravel bikes are basically a no fly zone where i live, if you ever do go MTN biking you need at least a hard tail.

If so don't go full suspension. It's terrible for city riding. I used to ride a hardtail XC 29er. It was ok but heavy as hell due to the cheap suntour fork. If I were to do it again I would buy some relatively cheap carbon fork and ride on that in the city and if I want to do some trail I would swap out the fork for that.

I just want it for maybe 20 minute rides to the store and back and to get some exercise.
I know, i've seen people trying to pump hard full suspension bikes that are way too lose and they waste their potential energy. I was thinking about getting maybe a hard tail and just dialing the front suspension all the way tight so there is no movement, and if i ever do want to go mountain biking, i could just adjust it later.

Ignore the retard. Unironically get a vintage 26" wheel mountain bike and fit it with continental race kings 26x2.2, that's a good multi use tire, fast enough on thr street and you get some grip offroad. You can do light XC trails with that stuff and maybe even more. Under biking is fun. That's my take. If you insist on going with the 29er hard tail, seriously consider buying a second fork, make sure it's suspension corrected.

Oh yeah bonus to the 26er bike is they pack up relatively small compared to a 29er (they're shorter) so would be easiee to bring to racing events.
