[0017] The following details the embodiments of the present utility model. The examples of the embodiments are shown in the drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals represent the same or similar elements or elements with the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the drawings are exemplary and are intended to explain the present utility model and should not be construed as a limitation of the present utility model.
[0018] Please refer toFigures 1 to 4 , the utility model provides a carbon fiber bicycle crankset, which includes a bottom bracket 1 of the vehicle body and a crank mechanism. The crank mechanism includes a bottom bracket spindle 2, a first crank 3, a second crank 4, two screw caps 5 and a limiting component. The bottom bracket spindle 2 is slidably connected to the bottom bracket 1 of the vehicle body and passes through the bottom bracket 1 of the vehicle body. The first crank 3 is slidably connected to the bottom bracket spindle 2 and sleeved on one end of the bottom bracket spindle 2. The second crank 4 is slidably connected to the bottom bracket spindle 2 and sleeved on the end of the bottom bracket spindle 2 away from the first crank 3. The two screw caps 5 are threadedly connected to the bottom bracket spindle 2 and are respectively arranged on one side of the first crank 3 and the second crank 4.
