Other than chainring size (would use single 34t anyway) and bb (would use a new ISIS 73mm shell) is there any reason it wont work?
different Q factor, crank arms might hit the chainstays or be very close i think
? might just foul yer chainstays, either with the crank end or the chainring ?
edit: bah !
Bottom bracket axle is too short, or crank arm too narrow. Either way they don't usually fit.
More trouble than its worth then.
yup usually narrower chainline so as above may fowl the chain stays 🙂
Could you use a longer BB axel to compensate? May work for your ISIS and SqTpr but could be a problem for HT11...
if you are buying a new BB all you need to do is buy one with a long enough axle that the crank arms sit far enough apart so as not to foul your frame.
if the chainring fouls the frame in the inner position (unlikely with a 34T) all you'd have to do is fit it to the outer position.
Vouilloz used to run Shimano road cranks on his mega (winning) bike.
Mate put a Sora triple chainset onto a Scott ht frame for urban adventure racing, fitted the BB ok but the crank end was coming very close to the chainstay
The chainset is isis and needs a bb anyway. Surely a bb width of 73mm will work irrespective of road or mtb as its the bb tat determines the width. Ill be rinning a single 34t in the middle position anyway, no issues with ring hitting chainstay.
bb will dictate width but road cranks have a lower profile the MTB cranks (only 2 chainrings to fit in) triple cranks might work though with the granny removed

the bottom bracket is irrelevant, each chainset has a "correct" length bottom bracket for best chainline. Road cranks tend to be designed with narrow chainstays in mind and low Q factors, MTBs are designed with wide chainstays and cranks are splayed out to avoid fowling. The issue of chainring sizes also has an effect.
You MAY be ok running a Road crank on an MTB but you may not.
FFS! the BB length is the most relivent part!
fit a longer axle and the crank Q factor is increased. (allowing room for the chainring too.
working out exactly what axle length to buy is the only tricky part.
