A front fork assembly for a bicycle is configured to be rotatably coupled to a head tube of the bicycle, such that the fork assembly is configured to rotate relative to the head tube about an axis of rotation. The fork assembly may include a C-shaped fork body having a front member connecting an upper portion and a lower bearing surface of the fork body. The fork assembly may include a tension rod extending from the upper portion to the lower bearing surface through an aperture of an inner wall of the head tube at a position offset from the axis of rotation, such that the tension rod is configured to move with rotation of the fork body. The aperture is configured to limit a range of motion of the tension rod and therefore of the front fork.
