If the bike has a quill stem, then there is a wedge at the bottom of it to lock the stem into the fork. There are also rare seat posts which use a wedge at the bottom as opposed to the regular seat post clamp. Even rarer are brakes who are activated by a wedge being moved to bring the brake arms together.
Old cranks may use a special type of wedge called a cotter to lock the crank to the bottom bracket spindle.
