Assuming your hub is an 8/9/10-speed freehub, respacing the hub to 126 mm will require redishing and leave you with a weaker, less stable wheel and I wouldn't do it. The reason manufacturer's went to 130 mm hubs when wider 8/9/10-speed cassettes replaced 6/7-speed freewheels and cassettes was to prevent excess dish.
This is what I did on an old cannondale I had without any issues, the dropout spacing was something like 127.5, weird spread for sure.
