Make sure you don't start the descent with speed. Go slow from the get-go. It's easier then realizing, "Oh my gosh, I have to slow down" when you're already doing 30+mph.
Also, take your bike to a shop, ask them how's the wear on the pads. Tell them your concerns. Or post detailed photos for us to give some weak advice
