The solution to that is to go down the hill in the same or lower geara
that you went up.
When you are traveling too fast, use the brakes fairly hard to slow down
to about 15 or 20 mph below your target speed.
Then release the brake until your speed builds up again and use the
brakes to slow down. If on a crooked downhill run, I go down in low, and
use my earplugs so I can't hear the people behind me cuss. I make use of
the far right lane like the truckers do, with my flashers on when they
use theirs.
Only had brake fade problems 2 or 3 times. Once while figuring all this
out, and once on a really kinky 9% grade with a 15 mph speed limit.
