This does seem like a seal problem in the master cyclinder. The calipers don’t really have any issues, it’s most often in the MS. How old are the brakes and what was the conditions like for R2TS?

have the brakes returned to normal function since?

Bought the bike with them on, so not sure of age. Seller said they were about a year old, and I bought the bike about 6 months ago. Guessing around 2 years or so.

It was hot during the event, but only later on. This was around 10am. Probably around 26-28 degrees at that time.

Yes, they seem to be working normally again, although the lever does feel like the last 5mm or so it returns a little slower than the front lever it I pull and leave it to return on its own.

Definitely a lever issue. If the serial number is in line with units recalled CCS will likely replace with updated version. Chat to @droo offline or contact Devon at Cape Cycle Systems.
