The dropouts are 5 mm wider for the 9 speed as they are for 7/8 speed drivetrains, but this is generally small enough of a gap that it poses little problems.

Yeah it works,and with a steel frame if the dropouts are 126,you can just spread by hand drop in the wider 130 hub and ride it.That is after you have spent all the money it takes to upgrade the drivetrain.Always remember, anything is possible if you have enough money. sometimes it just doesn't make sense.
