Hi, I just bought a BMC teammachine alr and I wanted to know how to adjust the seat. As it has an integrated seatclamp, I tried to turn the screw under the frame but I can't be moved. Also there is a little hole on top the the frame but I don't know what is it for. Thank you for your help. (sorry for the english, I'm french)

    Does this help?

    Looking at the pictures, it would appear that you loosen the bolt underneath the top tube and then give it a tap with a drift and hammer to knock the wedge out slightly as it will be wedged tight against the seatpost. You might be able to free it without a drift by supporting the bike firmly and carefully knocking the seatpost out with a rubber mallet.
