unless you need the extra strength of the 135mm just add an extra locknut on both sides of the axle and you are good to roll. The shorter axle will have a couple mm left for the dropouts which is plenty. Actually Sheldon wrote a piece about sawing the axle flush with the dropouts on vertical dropout frames for an alternate way of chain tension on single speed conversions. As always with Sheldon's info, it works. I have done it and the quick release is all that is required to hold the wheel in the correct place.
