Simple solution: don't use the brakes. I don't see what all the fuss is about for a road bike. V brakes are fine except in the rain. I've never been lacking for brakes on a downhill. Brake feel maybe but not brake power. I don't use the brakes much on the downhills, though. Similar to when I drive the 911. It's just got the stock '71S setup with some Porterfield R4S pads.
Sticky tires = more cornering speed = less braking needed.
Oh, yeah. Those mountainbikers are insane! Their bikes must be too.
