How does a 130mm spacing on a Campagnolo freewheel hub make a stronger wheel with less dish than the properly spaced 126mm hub?

Respace the hub back to the original 126mm. It allows you to use 6s and 7s freewheels and places less stress on the axle than a comparably spaced 130mm hub.

OP, If you need it I will post the axle spacing for a 126. I don't remember them off the top but i can check when I get home.
