Hitting 40 mph isn't too hard if you have a long down hill. Just don't pedal, that'll ruin your aero position. Just get real lean and coast.
Man, if I get going that fast I will be screamin like a baby! On a bike that would feel like warp 2!
I think what makes the front brake feel a little awkward to me is the front suspension. I never had a bike with suspension before, and it's weird to me how it mushes down in a quick stop (not that I have had many of these).
