Has anyone tried this? Does it work for you?

I don't want to add lugs for rear disc brakes to my frame, so I would only
consider using discs on the front.

I imagine it should be fine, as most of the braking power comes from the
front anyway. The rear brake does not need as much modulation or power as
the front.

Any comments?

I've had a Shimano hydraulic disc on the front of my Rockhopper, with the
original V-brake on the rear, for about a year now, and I love it.
The only downside I can find of having the V-brake on the rear is it needs
adjusting and tweaking now and again, whereas I haven't had to touch the
front brake apart from a set of pads.
As far as braking ability and rideability goes, the combination is fine for
me.
