It's simply a sequence of two consonants.
There's a syllable break between the k and n in 'ackney, but not in Knipex. If you come to juddering halt at the k in Knipex in the way you do in 'ackney, it sounds weird (at least to those of us who don't speak Xhosa 🙂), the epenthetic schwa allows it to trip off the tongue.

Don't blame me, I was just telling people what's in the Wikipedia entry, and they have a schwa between k and n in the pronunciation guide. Either it's special (e.g. there is no schwa in ˈknakˌvʊʁst) or the Knipex article is wrong.

Not all that surprising that if TRP have springs then Condor and Cane Creek do too, they all come from the same Tektro factory 🙂

You'd need to pay me a lot more than that to accept such a thing.

described above, in the thread?
Yes, for example the silicone tape on my S500s reference above, because they don't have internal return springs
-
will the dummy hood/lever flap around if there is no cable in it?
Depends on the lever, and what steps you take to avoid flappage. Shimano SLR brake levers have a return spring, with everything else you have to make your own by one of the methods described above

45x3 in stock again yet?
Not yet, probably looking at the end of January as I haven't even ordered materials yet

I can leave the tip of my tongue in the post-alveolar position for the l while doing velar c. I can't leave it in the alveolar position while doing velar k. Maybe I would be able to do that if I had trained on a language which routinely required it. If you think most Germans can, and do, maintain contact between tongue and alveolar ridge while pronouncing velar stops, feel free to correct the Wikipedia article about Knipex 😉
