Out of curiosity... when riding fully loaded in the hills, can you remember trying to brake with only the V-brakes? If so what happened?
I imagine it may feel like when you dig out an old bike, do a test ride and then realise that the pads are old and hard. Like, you're squeezing with both hands but only slowing down at one fifth the rate you'd like. Is it like that?

We had 2 V-brakes plus disc at the back on the tandem I was touring on with my brother. Definitly worth it at hills and heavy loaded. But no need otherwise I would say.
