Which touring tire?

Here are some pics of my 29er with a big Apple, Welgo pedals, KH seat
and 150's. I also have the WTB Nanoraptor, but for the street the Big
Apple is the choice.

slightly used(just test rides at the LBS) very nice for the money. not
as nice as my snafu's but not many pedals are.

Ok, I'm definitely going for the Big Apple. Now, are these good
pedals?: http://www.unicycle.com/shopping/shopexd.asp?id=214 Or
should I do these?:

I'll put in another vote for the Big Apple. It rides great, and I used
it to win the MUni race at NAUCC! Even though it has a decidedly
"street" tread. It's a great ride.

For pedals, the two you showed are very similar so either will do.

For cranks, 125 may even be a bit much for cruising. I use 102s for
street riding, though 125 would be okay as well for more varied terrain.
I rode my 102s to 6th place in the 10k at NAUCC against mostly Cokers
(on my GB4 29er with Big Apple tire). Gilby won that race on his
Schlumpf, also with a Big Apple.

Tyler,

Did you ride my 29er in North Bend? I run 110's for street cruising.
They climb great except for the very steepest sections of road I have
run across.

I tried 102's but didn't like the loss of control on deceleration and
going down hills. (125's felt huge after 102's before the 110's showed
up).
