Not true. When Shimano went to 130mm hubs they added spacing to left side as well as the right to help balance the dish. Shimanos 135mm rear hubs are identicle in every ways to their similar 130mm hubs with the exception of a 5mm spacer on the left side. The 5mm spacer is their to minimize dish.
Every frame manufactuere 'cold sets' thier frames. They dont come out of the jig in perfect alignment. The picture i posted shows the misalignment from 120 to 126. Any misalignment going to 130 wouldnt be any more than what most new out the jig frames may need for alignment. Its certainly less than what most of our 'can my dropout be straightened' threads need.

Shouldnt be a problem....
