We had routed the front V and the rear disc to the captain and the rear V to the stoker and never really used the rear V very much. I always rode stoker so not sure about the breaking performance. I believe it was ok, main reason to use the disc was to save the rims from too much wear.
Problem are more long decents, I remember overheating the disc on one hill. Going down 50-60kph down into Sarajevo... good times
