Use stainless steel spokes, silver is not very strong. Butted 14/15g will be slightly more durable and comfortable (36 spokes or more). Have the riding position set up so when you go over bumps your weight is distributed between your hands, feet and butt. The big apple tire looks good for your weight, but you may need a wider rim to take it.
