I was unaware that some Aluminum frames were sold that way, thus it sounds like they planned for it in that specific case.

A friend of mine that really loved his old 126mm Cannondale gave the frame away to a charity when he wanted to switch to a 130mm drive train. He said the frame would not work with that hub and he is a bike mechanic, so I am trusting what he says.
Sounds like it worked for you, but my friend regularly talks to manufacturer reps so when he says something won't work, I don't argue.
