    I think I wouldn't want to have a combination of disc- and V-brake. I imagine it to be very hard to brake correctly, if you have to apply a lot of force with your right hand (for the rear V-brake) and minimal force with your left hand (for the disc brake). The pressure points will be very different between the two brakes. In a situation where you have to react really fast I imagnine it to be unsafe, especially since the disc brake will be at the front.

    One more thought: have you ever tried to replace the old V-brake with a new one?
