There's a high possibility/probability of bent or broken axles with 130mm wide freewheel hubs because the drive side bearings are located inside the hubs leaving at least 40mm of unsupported overhanging axle.

The drive side bearings on a 130mm wide freehub for cassettes are located much further out on the axle resulting in much less unsuported overhang.
