answer 1

Technically not, as the clamp ID is 25.4, however I had this running on my fuji track drops for a bit, right next to the stem (26.0mm) with no problems. The concern is you could crush the bar and reduce the structural integrity.

I wouldn't recommend using these levers on your bar. You should use Road style cross top levers such as the Cane Creek Crosstop Brake Levers or the Salsa Cross Brake Levers.

You should use V-brake levers for cable disc brakes. These use a different cable pull ratio to V-brake levers
