Unless you've seriously screwed things up, no. Put on a new chain and forget about the cassette. If it skips, then get a new cassette

Wider cassettes tend to be great for such applications since you tend to be in the bottom gears going up and the top gears going down. You won't feel the difference between 27 and 28, but you'll get a bit more top end speed on the way down with the 11
