    My chain and sprockets are wearing out; I do want to get
    a few more gears on the rear, and new derailleurs front
    and rear,

    Why do you want to replace your derailers? If they're not damaged, this
    is a waste of money.

    I'm presuming I'll need new cogs in the rear der to handle
    the skinnier chain. I could be entirely wrong about that,
    never having done it. The front might work, but if I'm
    replacing the rear...

    _ The chains are skinner on the outside, not the inside.
    They are all still 3/32, so the old jockey wheels will
    work okay. In newer deraillers the upper jockey wheel
    is purposely wobbly to allow a little imprecision in
    the indexing.
