To drive something; make something happen; run the show
Underneath the corporate veil, cranking the gears, aren't moneys, robots, or artificial intelligence, but people: managers, employees, corporate executives, and shareholders. -- "UNSCRIPTED: Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Entrepreneurship" by MJ DeMarco
A phrase used by elite musicians to describe/initiate the surfing of the World Wide Web to gain further information about a variety of gear-related studies and professionals.
These studies may include:
-Technical knowledge about equipment.
-Studio specifications.
-Old/New methods of recording and editing sound.
-Stalking of other fellow musicians (past and present).
-Building up a superior lingo about everyday things i.e "attenuate the volume of the nearfields"
"It's time to go on a Gear Rampage!"
"I found the perfect guitar during a Gear Rampage today!"
Musician:"How come you know so much about these thing?"
Elite Musician:"It's taken me many years of Gear Rampaging"
"You got ripped off paying so much for that microphone. Did you even go on a Gear Rampage before you bought it?"
From "Gear-Head". A gear bigot is a car enthusiast prejudiced against certain automotive marques because of their country of origin; a domestic car enthusiast who, unaware of the high performance nature of many foreign cars, continues to think if it is not a Detroit product, it's not high-performance; a person who uses derisive terms to refer to foreign cars, i.e., "ricer", "rice-burner", "kraut can", etc.;
a person who doesn't care once-foreign cars are manufactured in the USA and continues to refer to them as
"imports" but by derisive terms.
He won't consider buying any car with a foreign-sounding name, even though it's made in the USA. He's a real gear bigot.

Short for converter gear. A set of wheels, dolly or a bogie, that connects and supports two semi trailers (three in some states) as doubles or triples. The word people commonly use to describe big rigs, semi, actually means semi trailer. A semi trailer is supported by it's back wheels, with a truck tractor (the technical for a truck cab) a full trailer is supported by its own wheels, front and rear, being towed or connected to a truck cab. People misuse the word semi, thinking it describes a tractor trailer when in fact the semi is only a detachable cargo carrier, not connected to the power unit/tractor. That's why its called a semi trailer. A full trailer only needs to be pulled behind a vehicle, it supports itself. With two semi trailers they need a set of wheels between them, an axle for the back trailer. A con gear is an independent set of wheels, when detached, interchangeable if it needs repairs. A con gear can weigh as much as a car and sometimes needs to be moved or positioned by the driver.
To connect a set of doubles the driver needs a con gear.
