Wrong total distance shown for bike

In November I added a new bike to Strava which I now exclusively ride. Therefore I retired my other bikes. The issue is that the cumulative kilometers for this bike are completely off. It says 2600 km while it is actually closer to ~900 km after adding the rides by hand. It does have a separate frame component which also shows about 900 km when I set the correct starting date. However, it does not change the 2600 km on the bike. How can I resolve this?

I figured it out. Turns out the second hand Garmin speed sensor I bought had about 1700 km worth of rides on it that were uploaded to Strava and attributed to my new bike. Problem solved after deleting these entries.
