No you won't. All you have to do is be watchful when you hook the tip over the edge of the rim so it doesn't pinch the tube. Coating the tube with baby powder first and inflating it slightly makes it easier so shove it up into the tire so it's not exposed to pinching. Then before you air it up fully squeeze the tire all the way around the rim to make sure the tube is all the way inside.
