I love Peabody's solution.

More evidence that putting those wheels in that frame is perfectly fine: I had an early 90's Trek aluminum frame with 128mm spacing. That's not a misprint. Trek intentionally split the difference between the 7 speed hub and the 8 speed hub. That way they could spec the same frame with either 7 speed or 8 speed, depending on the component build-up. Confused me for years, why I had too much space between my rear dropouts.

Leonard Zinn found the answer for me, by the way.

So I'm sure that you can run the 130 wheels in a 126 frame, as long as you are man enough to jam the wheel in there each time.
