Personally I'd stick an XT long cage mech on there. I know that's what's
often supplied with high-end road tandems with 34t cogs, when there are
DA/Ultegra bits elsewhere.

cheers,

If you are lucky you'll get away with a 28 tooth sprocket.

105s a re road mechs and 11-34 is an MTB cassette needing something like a
Deore rear mech. If you are a cheapskate Alivio will do the job.

The Ridgeback Velocity has a 28/38/48 triple chainring, an 11-34 MegaRange
cassette and an Alivio rear mech, so this appears to be a sufficiently
workable combination to be sold.

Best Regards,
Alex.
