    shimano road bbs are shorter than mtb. i believe slx are longer than standard mtb again. worst that can happen is that you run out of thread in your bb shell and you don't bottom the cups/spacers out against the shell.
    if you pushed it you could probably furr up the thread on the slx cups. getting them back out would probably cut them again, assuming a steel frame, or it could get galled up but probably recoverable ok, but if ally you could get into trouble..
    why not just fit road cups? cheaper.
