+1 on PVC. You can get it in 1" and 1 1/8" inside diameter, so that covers most steerers. I guess if you were shopping for some it might be a pain that you have to pay for a full length pipe. I've got a pile of various PVC pipe in my basement leftover from several plumbing projects over the years, so it's been the obvious choice for me for setting crown races-
