I never thought my fork could feel this good. I told Johnny what I was looking for and he did not disappoint. Being a lighter rider I struggle getting my suspension feeling good. Went with Johnny's recommendation on valve/tune and also got their 3.1 piston. Fork feels like butter! read more

If you're reading this review, you might be asking yourself, "I just paid a ton of money for this new bike. I threw down the extra cash for the top-of-the-line suspension. Why do I need to spend more at Fluid Focus for a custom tune?" Let me tell you. After the lads at Fluid Focus finish, your bike will be better across the board. It will smooth out the little stuff better, it will stick through the corners better, it will soak up the gnarly chunk, and it will make the big hits seem like landing in a bed of marshmallows. The improvement is substantial. read more

This is Daniel :) Appreciate the opportunity to test their totally awesome custom valving/tuning!! Ryan and Johnny, way to go! I was aweee-ed badly with the outcome by my first ride and even my buddy told me ... never seen me to kill the obstacles with confidence! OMG!! read more

See all

Fluid Focus is awesome. Johnny and team are very professional, nice people that love bikes and know what they are doing when it comes to suspension. Great company definitely recommend checking them out! Thanks Guys! read more

Was recommended to Fluid Focus from a local bike shop when I got myself into a little bind when adding volume spacers to my rear shock and these guys were fantastic, far exceeding my expectations. You spend a lot of money on a full suspension mountain bike and having good suspension is so important to the quality of the ride, and these guys know there stuff, so if you need repair or tune they got you. Called them up and was able to stop by the same day and drop off my shock. I didn't need major service, but these guys were so helpful and responsive. I didn't expect to get my shock back so quick but they went out of there way to get me my shock quickly and get it to me even after hours - thank you Johnny! I'll be a return customer, and probably won't wait for another issue and rather use them for some tuning. read more

If you've never had your suspension serviced and tuned by the good folks at Fluid Focus, you are missing out. These guys will transform your bike!! The way that they custom tune your suspension for your bike and your riding style is truly unbelievable. read more

Once my older kiddo started riding his bike independently, I promised him I would get my bike fixed and we would go for bike rides. Well, that time came sooner than expected and before I knew it, I needed a bike shop. Fluid Focus is tucked away. If you weren't looking for it, you wouldn't know it was there. Once you pull into the shared driveway, it's wasy to find with parking right in front. Ryan couldn't have been any nicer. I really didn't know what needed to be done but I knew my chain wasn't properly secured, I needed a tune-up and one spoke needed to be replaced, at a minimum. Ryan clearly focuses on mountain bikes with suspension issues so I'm sure my repairs were basic for him. I had my bike back within a few days. All issues resolved! Thanks Ryan! read more

A list of a few of my five star experiences with these gentlemen: I had a Zeb Ultimate that wasn't using all of its travel. They checked out the fork and found that the lower legs had too much fluid as well as the damper. Now I Can use all of my travel and my bike runs much better. I had A Fox X2 that blew up, they ordered the parts, had it rebuilt and back to me within a week. They have also rebuilt a DVO Onyx Fork and Fox DPS Shock for me as well. They are always friendly and give tuning and service advice. I live close by and they tell me every time I'm there to come back if I'm not happy and they will make it right. I haven't had to do that yet because they are great at their job, but I appreciate that they offer. I appreciate the Fluid Focus Team and wish them many years of continued success. God bless you guys! read more

This place is great! Everyone there is attentive and willing to go out of their way not only to fix up your bike but to answer any and all questions and provide recommendations. Had problems with my rear shock and they took it in same day i went and had it repaired and back to me within days. read more

Had my Fox X2 Factory fully rebuilt. Great shop, fast turnaround, very helpful and knowledgeable owner and staff, explained all the details and settings, gave me printouts of all the settings, and have these online as well for reference. Definitely recommend them. I live in San Diego and drove up to their shop in San Marcos to talk to them when I dropped it off and was well worth the trip! Ryan, owner, super knowledgeable and friendly, as well as Johnny, explained what all the different settings mean! read more

Several buddies recommend this place when I needed a stiffer spring on my Intense 951 e bike build. They took time and asked about added weight to bike, my weight and what I planned on doing with it. Seriously dialing me in on the right spring purchase. Know they didn't make much on the small sale but definitely stepped up. Don't know where I would have gotten this kind of personal assistance with my suspension needs in SD. Five Stars !! read more

This is a review for the 2nd time I've had F-F service my suspension. Similar to air suspensions, the coil fork & rear shock on my bike are just as dependent on clean fluids and internals. After one year of use, the slow but progressive degradation of the performance is hardly noticeable. BUT.... once I got the bike back, I can honestly feel a big difference. Very much so for the "small hits" and basic tracking and traction. DON'T put off suspension service, you deserve to get the most of the rig you are riding. F-F is the place to have this done, hands down. read more

Brought all my bits and pieces of front fork and rear shock in. Two days later they were all ready for me to pick up. This is a great service at an affordable price. read more

To quote the Joker, "If you're good at something, never do it for free"... If you want an expert looking over your bike, Ryan and Fluid Focus are where you want to be. This is not your bargain chain shop for cheap bling. Ryan can tune, tweak, rebuild and fix your bike. Prices are fair, knowledge is plentiful and the results are on par with all of the above for sure. read more

Another build / 2016 Evil The Following carbon wheeled... Another satisfied customer!!! Ryan's attention to detail is impressive. Highly recommended! read more

DO NOT HESITATE! Fluid Focus is the place to go for all your suspension needs, they are absolute gurus! My rear FOX DHX2 coil desperately needed a spa day and serviced after 800 miles of hard enduro and bike park riding. My local shop mechanic and friend recommended Fluid Focus to me, and they were able to take care of a full rebuild for me within a weeks time. Fluid Focus provided me PRO TIER Service at a affordable cost. Special thanks to Johnny, who was very knowledgeable and answered all my questions at pickup. read more

Professional, very competent, good communication, and excellent customer service: I sent them my Cane Creek shock for a rebuild and not only was it done right but they got it back to me sooner than promised. I wouldn't hesitate to use them again. read more

Ryan did amazing work on my Santa Cruz Nomad suspension. He completed the service much faster than he originally estimated. I would highly recommend his suspension tuning service. I will being going back for all future my suspension needs. read more

Great service! A sincere shout out to Ryan for the excellent advice. He really knows his business & takes great care of his customers. It's refreshing to interact with someone so knowledgeable and passionate in this industry. I highly recommend. Thanks again, Ryan! read more

I was very glad to have this shop recommended to me by a fellow mountain biker. Ryan really knows his stuff and gave impeccable service. I came to this shop for some suspension work but quickly realized they do much more. You can see from the number of bikes in the shop that local riders know where to take their bikes if you want things done right. Suspension in particular isn' something that I want to try and mess with, Ryan walked me through what I needed and had the parts ordered and delivered before I even walked into his shop. It's also a great feeling to walk into a place run by a professional that isn't there to try and sell you something. My next visit to Fluid Focus will hopefully be for some custom built wheels. But I wanted to give a well earned 5 star review here for anyone looking for bike repair or maintenance. read more

Simply the best place to service your suspension. Ryan is great and knowledgeable. I've never had a better experience servicing my shocks. I highly recommend everyone needing to service their suspension to come into the shop. read more

These guys are a top notch operation. I have had several services and upgrades done, and not once have I left disappointed. Ryan and his crew under promise and over deliver every single time. I highly recommend calling Fluid Focus for any of your suspension needs. I'm a customer for life! read more

Ryan is a consummate pro! Really legit no glam shop that's clean and ready to take on your MTB suspension. Ryan rebuilt my Fox shock, fully adjusted it to fit me weight and riding style, then he trued my wheels and actually de-tensioned and re-tensioned my spokes to make my wheels round again (somebody didn't build them very well) and Ryan made that right. Bottom line.... San Diego County has been in grave need for a suspension repair pro who does nothing but fix, rebuild, tune, etc... suspension. Ryan is the guy! Don't mess with risking taking your bike to your local shop to have them mess it up. See Ryan at Fluid Focus for a job done right and at a fair price. read more

Literally not one review below 5 stars. This is my second review. Dropped off my Rockshock PIKE on Tuesday, back on Friday - ready to ride the weekend. These guys over deliver every time. read more

Ryan went above and beyond tuning and improving my Norco Range mountain bike. Had a new shock installed, new dropper lever, had the fork serviced and more. Very knowledgeable and friendly. Definitely recommend for your bike service needs. read more

Fluid Focus did a great job with the EVO update on my Ohlins RXF fork. The performance improvement is incredible. Turn around time was just a few days. I was really impressed that the fork pressures and damper adjustments were set to the same position as when I sent it in. That's professional. Thanks for the awesome service. Fluid Focus is highly recommended. read more

Great shop to deal with. Ryan is very responsive to calls and request. Always kept me updated on parts and work status. Had a shock tuned, night and day difference from stock. Quick turn around on work. Ryan did the highest quality work at the lowest cost. Great to have a honest, quality suspension tuner in The San Diego area (San Marcos). Highly recommended! read more

An excellent suspension tech who is very knowledgeable, communicates clearly, and very friendly. I had a rear shock problem and he was able to immediately pinpoint the problem. If you need your shocks worked on I highly recommend his service. read more

Fluid Focus is a very superior Mt Bike repair shop. The owner, Ryan knows his Bike Suspension stuff! More importantly he is very attentive to customer service and thinks about how to give 100% to his clients. They think about how to best serve their customer. I had my rear shock and KS LEV Seat-post serviced and they now both work better than new. They went out of their way to make sure my seat-post and shock were working before I had to leave for a trip to Mammoth. read more

Ryan has done full factory suspension services on two of my mountain bikes. Additionally he serviced my Reverb dropper and installed a press fit bottom bracket. As promised, the bikes are now "better than new." He stands by his work and charges a fair price. It is rare to find an owner of a business that also performs the service. Ryan shows genuine concern and care for his craft and appreciation for your business. read more

I took a used bike I purchased to Ryan for suspension work and a rebuild. Couldn't be happier with his work, his attention to detail and the communication during the process. I found Ryan's shop on the MTB Forum and glad I did!... Although not close to me (170 miles) round trip, I will bring all of my bikes to him for service and couldn't recommend his services any higher!... Thanks Ryan!.... read more

Had my fork, shock, breaks, and drivetrain serviced by Ryan. Could not be more happy with the result. It feels like a brand new bike. He really went the extra mile and spends the time to go over everything. Highly recommend read more

Super happy with my suspension set-up on my DH bike. It needed some parts and a bit of love. Ryan definitely went above and beyond to make sure I was dialed and happy. Will be taking all of my bikes here from now on. read more

Ryan is very knowledgeable, friendly, and was very willing to spend time to answer my questions. He serviced my 2014 Fox Float CTD shock that had no noticeable difference in climb mode vs descend mode. The shock was also bobbing all over the place. On the phone I told him the issues I was having with the shock and he diagnosed it in seconds without even seeing the shock. He was also able to outsource a stiffer spring for the climb mode that Fox did not carry anymore. Ryan got my shock on 2-14-19. He was able to get the spring from the east coast, service the shock, and had the shock back to me by 2-23-19. The shock works better than it ever has in all the modes. The climb or pro pedal mode is way stiffer and finally works the way it should. I am very happy with the shock service that Ryan did. Ryan was very professional, efficient, and I would highly recommended him. read more

Ryan is super helpful and has a great spot for all your high end mountain bike work. He has rebuilt my fork, seatpost and now built me a wheel. All perfect and answered all my questions. Highly recommend. read more

Take your bike to Ryan. He's got you covered. Super quick turnaround.

This shop is just simply awesome! I can't believe we have a high end bike and motorcycle suspension shop like this right in our own backyard. Ryan is very knowledgeable and pleasantly service minded. I had my Cane Creek DB Air repaired/serviced and my Pike fork serviced/modified with a Push ACS3 coil conversion. Both worked perfectly right off the bat and are back on the trails working better than ever. And to put icing on the cake, the turnaround time was only 2-3 days each. Thanks Ryan!! I'll be bringing you my suspensions every year and telling anyone I can about this gem I found. read more
