When we are running steep grades, especially with the bob, I am constantly thinking about brake heating, tend to follow your example, same front and rear and I also tend to alternate between front and rear to keep temp in check. I suppose I "ignorantly" think we can probably stop once, if temps are held in check, but if the heat builds due to "drag braking", one may not get that stop.
