What kind of lube?
Luckily (maybe) the 180 I have to deal with is on a roof and the first and only funky thing I think I have to go through. It should be just navigating a couple of easy turns in the false ceiling once I'm past that. Of course I guess the 180 will also be the last thing I have to deal with when I run the cable up. I think it might be around two feet long, shaped about like a candy cane.
They sell big pump jars, small squirt bottles, and sometimes whole buckets of wire pulling lube in the electrical aisle of most big home centers. It's water based, or polymer/Teflon based stuff that's supposed to eventually dry out and leave very little residue. And not degrade common insulator or wire cladding materials. Or if it does leave a film behind, it's by design to make the wire a bit more slippery if you ever need to pull it out, or if another wire is someday pulled past that one...
Usually it's clear stuff that looks like hand sanitizer.
Wait... this 180 deg bend.. Is it conduit/pipe, or some other kind of void with lots of clearance?
Generally the lube we're talking about is for pulling wires through pre-laid conduits, or open voids and racks, if there's LOTS of wire already in there that might be on top of what you're trying to pull through...
If this is an otherwise clear structural duct or void of some sort, then no lube may be required. Just be aware that cable pulling lube exists, should it prove that you do need some to make the run you want.
