Are you using Velox (read: thick) rim tape? The Challenge-A23 difficulty can be tackled by using either Velocity's own Veloplugs or a thin rim tape like Ritchey or Rox. The Challenge tires, at least the Parigi-Roubaix, do stretch out a bit after use so they do get significantly easier to (dis)mount after a couple of hundred miles.
