Can you explain to me how this works? It is just a spacer so the OLD is correct for 135 but you still need a longer axle so that some of the axle is protruding to fit into the dropouts.

135 axles are 146 mm in length, 130 are 141. That 5 mm has to come from somewhere.

Am I missing something here?
