Eyelets have been totally discredited in modern rim construction. And they have essentially disappeared from quality rims. Kinlin is among the cheapest and also best made rim available. Hubs are really just about bearings, and even the best bearings are relatively cheap. There is no point to spending a bunch on hubs. Novatecs and Bitexes work great. Spend what you wish, but don't make the mistake of thinking expensive wheels will do anything for you that well chosen, moderately priced ones will not.
