Bikes: '96 Litespeed Catalyst, '05 Litespeed Firenze, '06 Litespeed Tuscany, '20 Surly Midnight Special, All are 3x10. It is hilly around here!

Another potential problem will depend on the width of your bottom bracket shell. Many newer MTB's have 73 mm shell width while the road standard is 68 mm. A road bottom bracket and/or integrated spindle crank won't work with the wider MTB shell.
