My chariot is older, so the holes in the frame are 1" square. I could still use round tubing, since it has a pin anyway. My Chariot is a double, so the bars have to be bent upward as well as inward, which would be easier to achieve with round bars just rotate the bars inward and drill the pin hole accordingly.
Approximately how long is your pole from where it attaches to the Chariot to where it attaches to your waist belt? I'm not sure how long to make my poles, as I don't plan to make them adjustable at least not at first. I have never skied with a Chariot but I've seen that people put one ski into the track, so it needs to be far enough away to avoid interfering with my ski.
On the other hand, walking and rollerblading don't really need an excessively long pole. So I'm just not sure about how long to make them. Any thoughts are appreciated. Our Chariot has square holes too. The 1 inch EMT conduit works just fine. I built a jogging wheel with it and a small bicycle wheel, it gets a lot more use than the ski kit and has held up well. I've known people who need only one or two bends who 'borrow' a bender off the shelf at Home Depot and bend it in the aisle before buying.
I built a bender out of plywood, thinking I'd want one at home - more trouble than it is worth. I'd just do as you suggest and put one bend in the tubes, then rotate in to your hips, drill and pin them there. I could measure the poles for you, but off the top of my head I think I put my skis on in the basement, assumed a skiing stance and had my wife measure how far back the rear tip of the ski was from my hips. I think I then made the tubes long enough that the rear tip of the ski would be just in front of the front of the Chariot.
If you look at the photos in step 5 where it is installed, you can see that the tube sticks back through the socket pretty far. Even with the measuring, I was worried about length.
I figured if it ended up too short, I could just slide them forward and re-drill the pin holes; the bends wouldn't be right up against the socket, but it'd still work. Something like this could also work for some adjustment for different activities. Slide it out for skiing, slide it in for walking or rollerblading. Of course, with how cheap the conduit is, buying more and making another set isn't a big deal.
Makes a nice square cut, leaves a fairly burr free outside edge. The inside has a good sized burr, which is why they don't use them for electricity; the burr doesn't play well with wire insulation.

I would advise using X cross for the poles as this creates lot sof stability. Did this with a sled and a hip belt the other day and will soon be upgrading chariot in the same way.
Very cool! I am thinking of James Bond here! Imagine if there were some sort of way of cutting the skis enough to let the tire come down by some sort of switch when you hit dryer pavement? Could also mount a small rocket system for turbo boost lol, just joking on this sentence ;. Serious though on the tire meeting the road thing though. Reply 10 years ago on Introduction. One could maybe work up an equal length control arm setup that would be spring loaded bungee cords to keep it in the up position, then go 'over center' in the down position to keep it down.
Actually, probably just mounting the skis so they are maybe a couple inches above the ground would allow the wheels to roll on the hard, but allow the skis to float it over the deeper stuff. Last winter, it was an inch of snow here, an inch there so they didn't plow they don't plow the side streets unless it is 3" or more , but it built up over time. They've done a mostly excellent job of plowing this winter as we've had many snowfalls heavy enough.
As such, the wheels have been working well this winter. My old boss has a cessna on skis on the airplanes the skis are fatter than the wheel and have a notch near the middle that the wheel extends through. I haven't had a chance to use it this winter.
