When I used titebond III it did not hold on the eva, so I went to using rod bond on both sides of the eva, and it is pretty solid.

i use rubberized cork for endcaps on eva a lot. Contact cement will not hold up. I use an old razor like a trowel and put on a very thin coat of 5-min epoxy.
Probably not as big of a deal for what you are doing, but i would still consider epoxy. Just make to put in on thin or you will have a glue line. Give it a solid hour or 2 before turning.

Guess what I use that holds up just fine...contact cement. 2 coats and no problem, as long as it's reamed to fit. I use contact cement on cork ellipticals, guess what?? once again not a problem at all. 2 coats.
