A quill stem is a component used to connect the bicycle handlebars to the fork steerer tube. It operates by inserting a cylindrical shaft into the steerer tube, which is then secured by an internal wedge or cone mechanism tightened via a bolt at the top. Proper maintenance requires periodic lubrication to prevent the metal components from seizing due to environmental exposure.
