can someone tell me what tf my dumbass is doing wrong please and thank you

UPDATE: fixed it. the pin on the lock wasn't positioned correctly and needed to be pushed in.

so of course I had to get a custom saddle bag with a fitting TDH reference... thought some of you might appreciate.

any other US riders here?

while riding my two month old bike yesterday, my rear brake lost pressure and had no resistance. it went completely loose and wasn't doing anything. eventually it came back on its own. I checked the rear brake fluid and the color doesn't look right at all to me.

I'm not a mechanical expert, so I asked AI and here's what it thinks:

"The most likely issue is that the rear brake system either has contaminated/old fluid, trapped air, or a failing rear master cylinder. While riding, the brake likely lost hydraulic pressure temporarily, which is why the pedal suddenly felt soft or had no resistance and the brake stopped working. Once the system cooled down or pressure partially returned, the brake started working again — but that kind of intermittent brake failure is a serious safety concern and should be inspected under warranty before riding more."

Taking it in Tuesday morning for first service to get checked out.

Has anyone else had this issue? should I be worried or is this a seemingly simple thing for a mechanic to identify and fix?

thanks

hit seven lakes drive and bear mountain yesterday and it was an absolute blast. love this bike
