Deore and Deore XT hubs are also 135 mm OLD. If the OP needs a 130 mm OLD hub he will either have to respace those hubs and shorten the axle or use a road hub like 105 or Ultegra.

BTW, is 36H essential or will 32H do? Modern 32H wheels, properly built and tensioned are very durable for everything but full loaded touring with a relatively heavy rider.
