In addition to its compatibility with MTB frames, the Shimano SM-BB71-41 bottom bracket will also technically work with road bike frames that use 86mm shells. However, the inner cable sleeve cover provided will not fit properly in this setup. To address this, you would need to either run the bottom bracket without the inner sleeve cover or reuse an existing cover from a previous setup.
This bottom bracket provides a great balance of weight, stiffness, and sealing performance, making it a popular choice for cyclists who need reliable, long-lasting components
