I was just thinking, reading the original post, that two of us rode down from the BRP into Vesuvius on Randonees, same bike as the OP's, and had no problem braking all the way down. On stock pads (which I later changed out for Koolstop Salmons, but that's another story). Fully loaded. I guess we're lucky there were no runaway truck ramps.
