All of what I was going to say has already been said in the previous posts, so I'll just second all of them. I will tell you it'll work. I have a 126mm axle Campy Record rear hub with the proper 5.5mm spacing at each end. I wanted to use it on a 130mm spaced aluminum frame and didn't want to bend/squeeze the frame in that much. I slipped on an approximately 1.5mm wide washer on each end of the axle as a spacer. There's very little of the axle showing at each end, but it's enough to guide the axle into the dropouts. The quick release pressure holds it in place.
