Condition Guide

Personally inspected · Honestly described · No surprises

At Pedalling Wears, we know that the biggest worry when buying pre-loved kit is the condition. Every item is graded by a real cyclist who knows exactly what to look for.

New with Tags

New with Tags (NWT)

Exactly as it would be if bought directly from the brand. Unworn, unwashed, and still featuring the original retail tags.

  • Factory fresh condition
  • Original tags attached
  • Zero signs of use
Excellent

Excellent

Items that have been worn very sparingly—perhaps only once or twice. They are indistinguishable from new at a glance.

  • No pilling or thinning
  • Zips and grippers like new
  • Bold, unfaded colours
  • No visible marks
Very Good

Very Good

The majority of our kit falls into this category. These items have been used but well-cared for. They show light signs of regular use but have no significant flaws.

  • Very minor surface pilling
  • Slight fading of internal labels
  • Light signs of wash wear
  • Fully functional zips/pockets
Good

Good

Items that have been loved and ridden often. They are still perfectly functional but show visible signs of their journey. We price these accordingly to offer great value.

  • Visible pilling in friction areas
  • Faded logos or graphics
  • Minor aesthetic snags
  • Still 100% rideable
Well Loved

Well Loved

Heavily used but honestly described. These items show significant signs of wear but are still fit for purpose. Ideal for winter training or entry point kit.

  • Significant pilling or thinning
  • Cracked or peeling logos
  • Visible repairs or small holes
  • Priced for maximum value

The Pedalling Process

We treat your next piece of kit like it was our own.

1. Inspection

We check every seam, zip, and panel under bright studio lights to find even the smallest snag or mark.

2. Preparation

Items are professionally cleaned and deodorized using sport-specific detergents that protect technical fabrics.

3. Photography

We take high-resolution photos of the actual item you are buying—never stock images from the manufacturer.
