Your local bike shop. My shop usually give me a dozen or so for free if I ask them, especially if I buy other stuff.

In a pinch u can use the cover bit on a pop rivet you just knock out the pin ...but your local bike shop will give you one for free most of the time.

Once on a "night before the race" bit of emergency repair work, I have used epoxy to glue the tips of a cable together. It lasted surprisingly well.

Soldering! Ja right. Warmed up my soldering iron all ready for the "old school" method and WHAM could not find the solder. Being late in the evening I was suitably frustrated. Eish.

 

But yes, alternative is easy as I buy the cables from my LBS and they give me the end caps pasella.

Even some clear sticky tape has worked for me, been protecting the end of my FD cable now for over 2yrs and easy to remove if needs be
