innermost cog skipping
i have a triple and when I climb I shift to the smallest gear. The chain would skip only when I shift to the innermost cog in the rear. can someone tell me why and what can I do to fix the problem myself?

Lube your cables, shifters and derailers.
Then make sure the RDR is not hitting the limit screw.
Then increase the tension on the RDR cable 1/4 turn at a time.

Or if the drivetrain is old that cog may be worn out.
Also refer to the derailleur and cable adjustment instructions found at https://www.parktool.com.

BTW for this poster when a bike is a failing to shift in only two gears it suggests an allignment problem. Further since he is having a problem shifting from 1 and 2 it also suggests a problem with the D-screw.
Its really the blind leading the blind on these forums.
