Right I decided to go to the source ... Middleburn themselves!
They have played with an RS3 and an RS7 that they had and get completely different results from me. They think it may be the spider at fault and have asked me to send them my set to examine.
I'm posting them back tomorrow. Hopefully they can resolve this issue. :?

Middleburn
That sheds some light on it, as to my mind the spider looks from a much earlier set of cranks, as those have a very large "offset".
On the rings though, I have also had problems with Middleburn rings having unequal spacings, between rings.
They appear to machine from differing thicknesses of Aluminium and cut the teeth at varying degrees of "off centre", with no particular standard. I feel they did this, to prevent folks using other manufacturers rings, so you had to buy a full matching set. I always found Middleburn cranks brilliant, but the rings very iffy at shifting and very poor on wear rates.

Any response yet? I think it's the wrong spider IMHO

Spider was spot on with specialized and then pace rings.
