Yep. Its rare but sometimes we use the 24 ring to get gears smaller than 1-1. It rare enough that an aluminum 24 ring has lasted 10,000+ miles and is just starting to show wear. Most of the time we use the big (50) and middle (36) ring for what has been termed "compact" gearing.
Shimano 12-28 cassette has nice small jumps between cogs all the way through. 12-13-14-15-17-19-21-23-25-28
