I have descended at speeds around 50 km/h (IIRC the recommended maximum speed for the BOB trailer BTW) and had no issues. Mind you I am not comfortable at speeds much above 50 km/h on the Surly even with panniers due to the braking limitations.

I guess if I wanted to descend at 70 to 80 km/h it would be an issue.
