Abstract

A bicycle chain wheel and crank of three pieces, namely a crank shaft and a pair of crank arms. The crank shaft freely rotatably supports the chain wheel through a cone, so that the crank is easy and inexpensive to manufacture. The crank arms can be of common shape because a chain wheel mounting boss does not have to be formed on the crank arm.
