The rims above are wider than 31mm I believe but I will check when I get a set.
The attached rim you mean is only 50mm
Attached is there rim catalogue
I swapped them for these:

L117 M12x1.5 TL12
L168 M12x1.0 TL19
Need to order 2mm spacers

They are obviously a bit lighter but I didn’t weight them on a scale. I know nothing about this brand so take my advice with a grain of salt.
Excuse my poor picture with ugly bottles, ugly temporary light setup, and chimney stack, but I've gotten a couple hundred KMs in on my LTK-266 now.
Build details:
Size S, transparent green paint
DFS 45mm wheels 25/32mm profile
11 speed dura ace di2
DFS carbon CT1 cranks
Stone chainrings 50/34
Chaser rotors
Boutique bike store(??) 360mm aliexpress handlebars
Uno kalloy stem
Adapter spacer from AProto bikes (ty @Sakizashi)
FSA ACR LS headset
LFZ pedals
Goldix 3d printed saddle
Vittoria Corsa pro 32 tires
Ordering from LTK with Alisa was very speedy and smooth, same with Angler for the DFS parts. Frame is almost perfect and was very easy to build up. Only issue I had was the rear mounts were not evenly faced so I had to add some tinfoil shims. But I guess it could also have been the brake adapter. Other than that the frame is perfect, paint looks great, all the weights were as advertised. Extremely light with not that expensive parts, bathroom scale has it around 6.4kg with pedals. Riding has been a big upgrade over my previous bike, a velobuild 099. Definitely stiffer, especially the fork, but with the 32c tires it is very comfortable to ride. Headset and cockpit were a breeze to setup with the di2 and adapter spacer. I was in a rush to get it built for a charity ride so I still need to trim the fork steerer and decide on a stem length. I ordered 3 different stem sizes since swapping them out is so easy with non internal routing.
Overall super happy with it. Insane value, total cost was a bit over 4k cad. Admittedly I got crazy deal on the used groupset from a dentist, but I would've spent the same for 105di2 and just been a few hundred grams heavier. The DFS wheels are very impressive too, 946g for the set.
Sorry to post in this topic after months of silence.
I am about to purchase a FM238 frame. In 2018 I already bought a Hongfu Frame (FM008, rim brake) and was quite satisfied with the quality. But it turned out that the geometry of the frame was way too extreme for me, the classification as an endurance frame was somehow misleading (i need more stack and less reach basically) and on top it only accomodated 25mm tires max.
tl;dr: i think the FM238 could be a perfect fit
I am just unsure about the headset. Does the mentioning of the FSA No55R1 in the spec sheet mean that i can combine every integrated handlebar or stem that is compatible with FSA SMR/ACR with the frame? I already posed the question to my HongFu contact, but it was obvious that he was overwhelmed by the question, so I thought you guys could help me out.
Dear 1136 users. Does any of you fit more than 32 mm tires for that frame? I found that 1056 can handle even 38 mm. Is it also possible for 1136?
