Hi Inglewoodsa,

Do not worry for the hijack. To fit your 135mm hub on a 145mm dropout it is either you squeeze your frame and you dont want to do that for sure or you find a longer axle for your hub. BUT you will need to re-dish the wheel correctly so it will run in the middle of the frame. This is because longer axle can be longer only by the left side (opposite to the gears). The best is to look for a real tandem hub and have a wheel build on it. I am pretty sure you can find a dealer for Chris King, White or DT in Australia.
