A suspension assembly for a bicycle is disclosed. The suspension assembly may be configured to use a volume of fluid in a fluid circuit for damping may comprise a volume compensator such as a bladder configured to provide an expandable volume to contain fluid in the fluid circuit and a relief valve configured to open to facilitate the flow of fluid through the relief valve rather than entering the volume compensator. The relief valve may be configured to open at a threshold setting. The volume compensator may comprise an expandable bladder. The threshold setting of the relief valve may be selected to prevent failure of the expandable bladder. The volume compensator and the valve may be contained in the fork assembly. The valve may be configured to open to facilitate the flow of fluid through the valve rather than expanding the volume compensator.
