I agree with mouse, when using both brakes you are effectively dissengaging the 'linked' part of the braking system. Try stopping using just the front brake and then after a short distance apply the back brake as well. The bike suddenly feels as though it has lost some braking power. In other words, you have to really stamp on the back brake to regain the same power/distibution as the linked brakes. Which says to me that the linked system applies a large amount of rear brake, certainly more than I would use myself if I hadn't got them.
