Roller Brake Question

I'm gathering parts for a balloon tire city bike, its gonna ride on Fat Frank's or Big Apple's (like 2.35 inch) I'm gonna be using a Shimano roller brake hub with a 7speed cassette in the rear.

Will this provide sufficient stopping power alone or should I use a roller brake in the front hub as well?
