So I got a Red vertx smx off a friend. Basically my problem is that my headset cap for my fsa impact won't fit over the fork and neither will my bars. I even tried a different set of bars and headset cap. Any ideas?

Yeah, vertx makes everything too big, I have to stretch my SCS every time I take my bars on/off, it sucks.

Vertx fork tubes are definitely a tiny bit bigger than every other i have ever had...its a real bitch to get my proto scs off..
I would recomend sanding dow the inside of your scs until it fits...id try to stay away from sanding down the fork tube though as it could weaken it and give it a place to crack/break.
For sanding down the i.d. of the scs a 1 "flap disc" sanding drum on a drill works nice.

i have the same problem with my proto strikers, just hammer your hic shim on, sand the shim down a wee bit, then hammer on your bars, good news, that shit never comes loose, bad news, that shit never comes loose... or off.
