Abstract:
A bicycle chain wheel structure is configured with a right crank arm portion and an axle portion that are integrally formed together as a one-piece, unitary member. The right crank arm portion has an inner end integrally formed with the axle portion. The right crank arm portion has an outer end with a pedal mounting arrangement. The axle portion has a first end that is integrally formed with the right crank arm portion and a second end with a crank arm mounting arrangement. The axle portion has external threads disposed between the first and second ends of the axle portion. Thus, a portion of a bottom bracket is partially integrated into the bicycle chain wheel structure. Preferably, the chain guard is integrated into the right crank arm as a one-piece, unitary member. This arrangement reduces parts and manufacturing costs of the bicycle chain wheel structure.
