The best method I've discovered to prevent pinching tubes is to cut a strip from a cereal box that's about 2" wide and long enough to go around the inside of the bead area of the tire with a little extra overlap.  Cut a notch for the valve stem then use the material to hold the uninflated tube inside the tire (be sure to use talc - baby powder - on the inside of the tire before slipping in the tube).  Assemble the wheel and inflate the tube.
