Going from a suspension to rigid fork...help with bearings?

It's been a while since I've put a head tube together, but know I need a cup to be pressed into the replacement fork. Going to be a surly fork (probably ogre, but maybe 27.5 ecr) - straight, so it's...

really? It's almost all the way through one of the splines. I thought my re-straigtened chain was the cause for slipping gears, but now I know the real reason.

Can an Ultegra 6800 front derailleur be used with Ultegra 6700 Brifters?

Can the 6700 brifters, or any other shimano 10-speed brifters, handle the longer leverage arm of the 6800 FD?
