That will work. The general rule for QR axles is: length= dropout spacing + 11 mm. So, for a 126 mm spacing the axle should be 137 mm, for 130 mm spacing it should be 141 mm and for 135 mm its 146 mm. Shortening a too long axle is easy but be sure the threading is long enough to allow the cones to thread on enough to allow bearing adjustment.
