As described above, the present invention forms a band-shaped plate having a large number of continuous teeth on one side in the axial direction, and one side in the width direction on which each tooth is formed faces outward in the radial direction, and the width of the band-shaped plate is The strip plate was wound in an annular shape with the other side facing inward in the radial direction, and the strip plate was fixed to the adapter so that the center of the winding coincided with the axis of the crankshaft.In other words, the strip plate was punched out at the same time. The process of forming the gear, the process of winding it in an annular shape, the process of winding it in an annular shape, and the process of centering and fixing it to the adapter are organically and rationally combined, so the formation of a bicycle gear crank is possible. In addition, since the chain gear is formed by winding a strip, material can be trimmed rationally, resulting in very little wasted material and reduced manufacturing costs. This can be significantly reduced.
