Like the OP stated, you down the hill the same way
(gear)you came up the hill in. If that is 45mph so
be it. As well check your ait presure in the tires
and make sure they are correct, if low they will
make the front end shimmy when braking. Never, ever
let air out of a hot tire's (tires gain some air
pressure when hot), best to check tires after they
are cold. I check mine in the mornings after sitting
for the night or if I stop for more that 45 minutes
to a hour.
