I have this wheelset and mounting and removing every tire I've ever tried has been easy. In fact, it's too easy, too easy such that getting many tubeless tires to seal is a b*.
Not sure if HED has made any changes to the Belgium Plus rim?
Per HED's
FAQ Belguim Plus rims are the same as the Ardennes RIM BRAKE rims (emphasis is mine)

Belgium rims are just the HED rim that will be built into a custom wheel set by your local builder. Belgium rims come in one extrusion, the same as the rim brake model used for Ardennes. Hole counts are 24, 28, and 32.
Since the OP had the disc version of the Ardennes they may have been a different extrusion.
I have Belguim Plus rims and they are super easy to mount just about any tire I've had on them.
