Why does the chain skip to the outside of the bottom wheel?

Basically the angle between the bottom and top wheels is too great causing the chain to skip to the outside of the bottom wheel under force. If I use the higher adjustment screw on the shimano derailleur to align them better the top wheel is then not aligned with the smallest sprocket.

How does Sheldon Brown’s truing wheels work?

It has a concave shoe which sits on top of the inflated tire, and a hook which goes under the rim. The bottom of the hook is forked so it can fit over a spoke. Tightening a large wingnut pulls the hook up, and pulls out the dent in the rim. This tool is no longer made, though it sometimes appears on eBay.
