Weight isn't a factor in Gain Ratios either. These are all just measurements of mechanical advantage. Maybe the best way to think about it is that it is a measure of how fast you would be going at a certain cadence. If you spin at 100 rotations per minute at 48/17 you will be going 22.2 mph. It doesn't matter what the bike weighs and it doesn't matter what you weigh.
