Abstract
A bicycle suspension assembly including a damper body and having a valve, including a moveable inertia mass, movable between first and second positions to selectively alter the compression damping rate of the bicycle suspension assembly is described. The valve and especially the inertia mass can be substantially isolated from the effects of the rebound and compression fluid flows.
