I also lubricate the spare cable carefully and seal the both ends with tape - so the water and dust (I ride a lot of gravel) don't go inside the shell in a longer term. And if the day comes you need one, just remove the tapes and connect the ends of the spare cable and it's as fresh'n'lubricated as new.[/QUOTE]
Or cut off one of the fingers of a rubber glove and cable-tie that over the exposed end to keep out dirt.
