Well, there is a way to cheat a MTB hub down to 130. You can replace the 8/9/10 speed freehub with a 7 speed freehub, then cut down or replace the axle with a 130 mm. I know it can be done because I did the reverse, bringing an MTB 130 up to 135.
EDIT: Almost forgot, you'll have to change the spacer on the left side to bring it down to 130. Also, you should decide which way to go before you build the wheel because it may affect the centering of the rim. Easier to do it just once.
