Maintenance/Repairs

I go down a steep gravel road that at one point is 1/2 mile concrete ramp. I use 1st gear to try to reduce wear on my brakes - how many RPMs are safe? Is there some speed at which syncros or other transmission issues arise - I am not getting anywhere near the engine redline RPMs, but I know that is probably set for circumstances other than gravity pulling me to a high speed/RPM.
