Just bought this. Rear brake feels fine but when braking the handle is a bit clunky
Is it a problem my Mongoose Brawlers rear brake is clunky?

The tube the brake cable goes in shouldn’t be moving when you pull the lever. Somewhere something needs to be tightened/adjusted so that it stops moving & allows the cable to pull smoothly
Your cable is loose, you can see it in the way the housing moves when you pull the lever
Look up park tools v-brake adjustment video
Too much friction in housing or at cable housing ends.
Pull the slack out of the cable. Your housing is moving in and out of your barrel adjuster. You can adjust the barrel adjusters at the gyro and/or at the junction where one cable goes to two cables to achieve this
