Sam Wakeling covered exactly 282 miles (453.8km)at Aberystwyth University's athletics track when he finished his marathon session at 1000 BST on Sunday.
The 22-year-old computer science undergraduate from Bath was aiming to beat the existing record of 235.3 miles (378.7km) on his 36in (91cm) wheel.
He said the secret was "getting into a good and steady rhythm" at about 15mph, and using an air-cushioned saddle for "maximum possible comfort". He was allowed to take short breaks during the 24-hour ride.
