Probably not from a tandem.

But spreading a 126mm frame to get a 130mm rear wheel in is usually pretty easy. I've done it on a few steel frames. Some have concern about alu frame spreading, however.

You can get up to 11 speed 130mm wheels.

Are we talking about the Le Tour? It's probably 120mm. Does it have long stays? If so I'd probably not flinch at spreading it to 130.
