In your step, you are assuming that the maximum value of static friction is acting, but that is not the case. Static friction can have variable values, with a limit that it canot cross. When a solid cylinder is rolling down, lesser frictional force acts on it than if a hollow cylinder is rolling down, while you have assumed it to be the same for both cases.
