I have that hub on my "Country Road Bob". I only have about 100 miles on the fixed side, but I have well over 5000 on the freewheel side. The only thing I would note is that for the first few hundred miles my chain would get quite a bit of slack, and need to be retightend - a couple of chain tugs fixed that.
I have an old Raligh frame laying around that measures 125mm as well - I'll pull my van dessel hub and see how it fits - I'll give you some notes later.
