I believe mine is 126mm, the extra was to accommodate the chain-catcher ring on the small end of the freewheel

I have since fitted a six-speed freewheel to the original wheel, but be aware that the original derailer needed modification to handle it.

Can we assume that you are perhaps ordering an alloy-rimmed wheelset at this time?
