i have one on my kili pro magnesium, so much flex in that frame they should have one built in.
you can get new (or at least nos) cnc ally ones on ebay, various colours, and the carbon shimano ones are often on there too.

I'm puuting v brakes onto a 95 kona. I was told that I should put a booster on to help the brakes. Is this correct?
Any rim brake will benefit from a booster because instead of wasting energy spreading the stays, energy is used squeezing the rim. The problem people tend to have with them is just aesthetic, and weight I suppose. If you like the look of them and aren't that bothered about an extra 60 grams or so, you'll get better brakes if you fit them

Odyssey, though is different to the one in that review 'labortest' posted (looks more like the one next to it). Also help stiffen the Mag21's as works in conjunction with the fork brace, may also make them last longer as they're not twisting the lower legs as much
p.s. ignore the arrow

I posted up pics of my bike with Pauls boosters on it and NOBODY said they liked the look
NOW your all saying the opposite
[Insert emoticon for shakes head and grumbles]
It's because they were Paul's, nothing else, everyone hates them. Now if you had Halfrauds boosters it would get rave reviews
