I generally downshift and use engine braking in conjunction with the discs. Its seems more efficient than just wheel brakes alone and the revs don't look like its hurting anything.

What method do you use?

 

Both as you described...

 

Both...it leaves you ready to accelerate at any time if need be.

 

Both

 

I do use both but am careful not to downshift too early by locking up the rear wheel and/or putting too much stress on the tranny.

 

I also use both.

 

Both, I use more engine braking than most though. No worries.

 

Me to, at least I try.

 

Seems to me braking with the engine puts alot of unnecessary stress and wear on the drivetrain and tires. Brake pads are cheap and not a big deal to replace so I let them take the beating.

 

I try to use mostly brakes
