Not... 126 allows 8-10... IF.. derailleur clears the spoke bed.. more dependent on the width/style of the rear derailleur cage. All one is doing is removing 4mm of spacing left side. I've clipped a few 130's down to facilitate easier insertion of the rear into older steel frames... usually easily done.
But YES.. 11's are sure lunacy. More the checkbook/sheep types.. gotta have what his proctologist has ....etc... good for our economy.
