Road levers pull less cable - road specific ones are designed to work with cable pull road levers deliver.

EDIT: Similar q here for BB5's

Cable pull.

Road levers pull less cable than MTB levers and the road BBs are designed to cope with this.

Looking to do the same, I did have some MTB BB7 (sold yesterday) but I checked before I sold.
IMO only go for the BB7's not the 5's
