It comes with a shimano 105 long cage rear derailleur and a 11-28 9 speed SRAM cassette. I'm thinking about putting a shimano XT rear derailleur along with a 11-34 cassette. Any suggestions to which derailleur i should get and why? thank you
An XT will work fine with an 11-34 and any road shifter. You could down spec to a Deore if you want a less expensive alternative. Either will work.
