Thats what I have.

I have found that it doesn't like to stick to my black OCM axles that well. Sticks fine to my EnRoute axles though, both were clean.

Take a hairdryer to it when you first apply it on the axles. Two things will happen.
1. The plastic will form better around the tight spots.
2. It warms up the glue for better adhesion.
