You have been riding for a British bike company for a few years. Federal first, now United. How does it feel being from the USA and riding for an English company?
Corey: Being apart of an English company is pretty sweet! 

Do you feel you get to travel internationally more often because of it?

Are you always looking forward to the next trip?

Do you mind being in a van with 7 sweaty guys or have you become used to this over the years?
Corey: It's never really that bad actually.

Do you have your bike set up perfectly all the time or are the spokes and headset loose and do your brakes slip sometimes?
Corey: It does manage to get a bit worked from time to time but for the most part my back wheel has to be straight and brakes dialed!

What tools do you usually take with you when you travel?
Corey: 6mm, 1/4, 17mm, Chain tool, 15mm.

What parts on your bike do you change most often?
Corey: My back rim.

Do you bring parts when you're on the road or do you use whatever to fix it so you can ride?
Corey: If it breakes I try to fix it or find another one at a bike shop.

What companies are supporting you?
